Led by an international student filmmaker, this collaborative project brings together friends and family—also international students—to examine the universal act of waiting. Filmed both in a studio setting and on location in everyday spaces, the film explores the quiet hopes, anxieties, and shifting identities that emerge when life becomes a series of pauses. Through personal reflections and evocative visuals, the film reveals how waiting shapes our shared sense of time and belonging.
