Synopsis
In 2005, Amina, a 29 year-old woman, died – apparently stoned – in the Afghan village of Spin Gaw. There are several versions of what really happened during and after her death. The Stone Silence follows the official inquiry that occurred in the village for several months and reveals the strength of moral rules deeply rooted and in contradiction with the laws of the State. Amina’s family husband (who immigrated to Iran) and the lover’s family (currently in escape) abide to tradition: silence is made of stone.
