Steph...This movie is intense. Soraya M is an abused wife in an Iranian village who's husband wants a divorce to marry the daughter of a wealthy man he guards in prison. She refuses because he will leave her and her daughters to starve in the villiage while he takes their sons to live in the city. Soraya's husband with the help of the men running the village force her to take a job taking care of a widow so she can have some money and her husband can leave. Soraya's husband is ok with this but then decides its much faster just to say she's having an affair with the widow and have her stoned to death. Basically all he does is accuse her and she's found guilty. The stoning scene is very graphic but its there to make a point. I couldn't help but to start crying when Soraya's husband gave their sons stones to throw at her. This movie will break your heart but its worth watching.
