It is 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning, in the Israeli suburban town Modiin; parallel lines of identical houses, flags hanging from the porch. Uniformed men flow out of the houses and drive away, to come back only in two weeks. This is the military neighborhood. 170 houses built for families of army officers, who leave their wives to deal alone with real life, while they play war. Waiting is a personal film, made by the wife of an Israeli army officer. A film about the life of the women and families left behind, as their men go to "save the homeland", in an upside-down country, where living has become less important than fighting and dying.
