Set during post-war Yugoslavia, The Wait is a coming of age story about a 7-year-old girl who discovers a world of deception and extortion involving her father and the men who wish to hurt him. Based on a true story.

After their father is conscripted during the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, three sisters begin a Hi8 video diary in their countryside home. They film each other putting on make-up, picking cherries, playing party games, getting into fights and helping their mother cook. This fragile, intimate world is perhaps their only shelter from the reality of bombings, sirens and war.

Jelena, a middle-aged administrative clerk from a small countryside town in Serbia, struggles with menopause symptoms – insomnia, hot flashes, and debilitating neck pain. When doctors dismiss her pain with absurd solutions, Jelena reconnects with an old high school friend, who introduces her to Golubica, an elderly blind witch healer.
