Waiting

Synopsis
Life is indeed full of waitings. We wait for our ambition to be achieved; we wait for love to arrive. Yet, for an old couple living in a leper village in Jakarta, "waiting" is their sole means for survival, as well as the way they show love and care to each other... Marginalized and forgotten by society, the couple struggle to eke out an existence in metropolitan Jakarta. Their eyes betray the resignation they feel about their daily existence.

Director Statement
" I am just a quiet observer who followed this couple from dawn to dusk as they live out their humble existance in this busy metropolis, recording how they live, work and just trying to survive. Though this couple may just be one of the millions of lower-class living in a poor neighborhood in Jakarta, yet what I saw were two remarkable human beings who live their lives with dignity, and who accepted their lot in life without complaining..." -- Lee,Li-Shao
