Festival history
In April 2005 the world heard the news that in Spingul village in northern Afghanistan a 29 year-old woman has been publicly stoned for adultery. It was Amina who was given away by her family to be married to Muhammad five years earlier. Right after the wedding however, Muhammad went to Iran for work. Then Karim appeared in Amina's life. They started seeing each other in secret, but in the clay houses there is no room for clandestine activities. They were caught together and accused of violating the law. This film chronicles their affair, trial and punishment with piercing candour.
