What Waiting Is About

In a hospital, an elderly professor who visits his comatose wife every day meets a young woman whose husband has also fallen into a coma. Their ages, their language and the way they look at life have nothing in common; all they share is waiting in the same corridor. The film gives that waiting not as a great drama but as two people managing each other, losing patience with each other and laughing in between. What the doctors say, the decisions that have to be made and the costs are all inside the account. Naseeruddin Shah and Kalki Koechlin appear in Anu Menon’s ninety two minute Indian film, completed in 2016.
