| | Plot: | Sylvia works in a clothing factory and each evening returns home to care for her bedridden mother. Her life is as confined and oppressive as the small apartment in which they have lived for many years. Their neighbour and long-time family friend, Modesto, is always there to help in small ways. Their lives are closely intertwined, yet each is separate and isolated. Aldo Garay’s exquisitely crafted short feature film is shot in beautifully textured, saturated color, and the characters develop incrementally through a rich accretion of visual images. THE WAIT is the cinematic equivalent of a fine short story: Nothing is wasted. Nothing is overstated.
La historia ubica la relación entre una madre (Elena Zuasti), una hija (Verónica Perrotta) y un vecino (Walter Reyno) que cultivan frustraciones y reproches en un contexto de ambientes anónimos, vacíos, tejiendo una sorda y enfermiza relación de dependencia. Solos y juntos, esos personajes dejarán pasar las oportunidades de redención por la inercia de rutinas y agobios. Cuando surge una posibilidad de salida -sobre todo de parte de la hija-, ya será demasiado tarde: serán tres o no serán nada.
