The Longest Kiss

At a historical crossroad, Sudan is about to split in two. A referendum on self-determination in early 2011 will likely separate the Muslim North and the Christian South into two countries. Yet the current country's capital Khartoum, is a haven of peace and stability here Sudanese from different regions, ethnicity and religion coexist. Youth from diverse backgrounds are all waiting each in their own way to built Sudan. But their country is a ticking bomb. The film follows young people ranging from the ages of 8 to 30 whom all line in Khartoum, and are each confronted with a unique quest. The Waiting Room is an intimate portrait of a society that remains unknown to most and misunderstood by many.
