WAITING FOR WOMEN
UK, November 2008
34 min, Documentary

In the remote Spanish village of Riofrio, the women left years ago. Only the men are left without the slightest possibility to find a relationship. Not able to bear this situation any longer, they organize a busload of single women to come from Madrid into their loneliness. Their ideal aim is to fall in love! But having never learned how to deal with women, beside their mothers and some motorway prostitutes, the event turns into a bizarre adventure. Waiting for Women is a heart-warming documentary about love and solitude, about gender, migration and hope.
