In this Afghani village, has Amina, a married woman, been stoned for adultery? The fascinating pictures of the movie are driving the viewer through the labyrinth of truths and lies, unsaid and contradictions, whereby the village community endeavours to confront the pressures on it from law, religion, tradition and human feelings. Through a tense search for truth, the film provocatively puts on stage the biblical words. „He who is without sin, let him throw the first stone.“
Founded in 1955 as "Leipziger Kultur- und Dokumentarfilmwoche" (Leipzig Week for Cultural and Documentary Film), the festival is headed by Christoph Terhechte since the beginning of 2020. An Ecumenical Jury existed since 1990. It was transformed into an Interreligious Jury in 2016.
