Youth from diverse backgrounds are all waiting each in their own way to built Sudan. But their country is a ticking bomb. The film follows young people ranging from the ages of 8 to 30 whom all line in Khartoum, and are each confronted with a unique quest. The Waiting Room is an intimate portrait of a society that remains unknown to most and misunderstood by many.
