SYNOPSIS

Under the shade of a Magnolia tree, a group of pregnant women gathers weekly. Among them is Teresa, an experienced midwife who listens to them attentively. Sitting in a circle, the women reflect on the impending birth of their children and their own emerging roles as mothers. 

NOTE

[Claudia Brignone, Director​]

Waiting Time is a reflection on birth, on what it means to be a parent today, and on the path that turns a woman into a mother and the psychological and cultural aspects of this journey. The film travels into the lives of these women who come together in a circle and remain connected.
