Golshifteh Farahani Nude Basin Scene in The Patience Stone (2012)(0:20)

In some war-torn country - perhaps Afghanistan... a young thirty-year-old woman examines her elderly husband in a shabby room. He became a “vegetable” because of a bullet in the neck. He was abandoned not only by his comrades from Jihad, but also by his brothers. One day a woman decides to tell her silent husband the truth about their relationship and her feelings. She talks about her childhood, the suffering she endured, her breakdowns, loneliness, dreams, desires... She says things that she could never say before, even though they have been married for 10 years. Thus, this paralyzed man unconsciously becomes the "sing saboor" - a magical stone which, according to Persian mythology, when placed in front of the heroine, protects her from misfortune, suffering, pain and adversity. In this hope that her husband will come back to life, the woman fights to survive and live. She finds refuge in the home of her prostitute aunt, the only relative who understands her. The heroine seeks salvation from suffering in the words that she fearlessly throws at her husband. However, after weeks of caring for him, she will truly discover herself in a relationship with a young soldier...
