Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In April 2005, a young woman called Amina, suspected of adultery, was killed in the village of Spingul, northern Afghanistan. With the help of witnesses and family, Stone Silence attempts to reconstruct the story of Amina’s life and death, starting with her ‘arranged marriage’ to Muhammad, who left to find work in Iran right after the wedding. Amina died, but no one admitted guilt. Her parents, the village elders, the mullahs, the investigating police and the judge, who held an office at the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission – all have their own versions of the story. Even the mother of the fugitive Karim, who was said to have had an affair with Amina, hesitates over what to say and what not, unaware of the fact that the camera is still running. An attempt to get an insight into the hierarchy of Afghan values.
