Synopsis
Un pont, une rivière asséchée dans un paysage désolé, la guérite d'un gardien mal luné, une route qui se perd à l'horizon, un marchand qui pense le monde, un vieillard, un petit enfant, et puis l'attente. Rien ne bouge ou presque. Nous sommes en Afghanistan. Le vieil homme va annoncer à son fils qui travaille à la mine, le père du petit, qu'au village tous sont morts sous un bombardement. Il parle, il pense : enfer des souvenirs, des attentes, des remords, des conjectures, des soupçons. C'est une parole nue qui dit la souffrance, la solitude, la peur de n'être pas entendu...Comments

Le film retrace les quelques semaines que passe une jeune femme au chevet de son mari, inconscient parce que blessé à la nuque par une balle. L'histoire se passe dans une ville en proie à la guerre civile, qui pourrait être Kaboul. Livrée à elle-même dans un univers hostile, la jeune femme se réfugie avec ses deux filles chez sa tante, une femme indépendante. Mais elle revient quotidiennement dans sa maison prendre soin de son mari. Ces longs moments de veille, entrecoupés par les bruits de la guerre, l'intrusion de miliciens, la visite du mollah, seront l'occasion pour la jeune femme de confier ses états d'âme à son mari et petit à petit de lui livrer ses plus lourds et intimes secrets. Le blessé devient malgré lui syngué sabour, la pierre de patience à qui l'on confie ses souffrances, ses désirs et ses secrets.

Aging, respected commander Paul Blanchard (Heston) is on his final submarine tour before promotion to command of a submarine squadron (COMSUBRON). Surfaced and returning to port, the submarine, USS Neptune, is struck by a Norweigian freighter in route to New York in heavy fog, and sinks to a depth of 1,450 feet (442 meters) on a canyon ledge above the ocean floor. A United States Navy rescue force, commanded by Captain Bennett (Keach), arrives on the scene, but Neptune is subsequently rolled by a gravity slide to a greater angle that does not allow the Navy's Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) rescue submarine to complete its work.
