Waiting for Happiness (Heremakono) (2002)

This film from Mauretania  focuses on a disparate group living or biding their time in a small coastal town -- some will leave, some will stay, some will die.  There is no linking story but we do get to know many of them in a very small way -- whether we really wish to know them is another matter.  However the look, feel and sound of the encounters leaves an indelible image that lingers on.
