Silent Waters (2003)

In 1979 Pakistan, General Zia-ul-Haq has imposed martial law, and within a few months, the country is decreed a Muslim state. Ayesha, a well-adjusted woman in her forties, devotes her life to the education of her 17-year-old son Salim in the little village of Charkhi, in the Pakistani Penjab. Salim is a quiet dreamer, but the fast-moving political situation fills Ayesha with anxiety, since her son is changing out of all recognition.
