Waiting For...

About This Movie

Waiting For... is an intriguing piece of animation from 1984 that opts for a minimalist and contemplative tone. The story centers around a swan, patiently awaiting the hatching of her signets. It’s not just about the waiting; it explores themes of motherhood and the passage of time. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection. What really stands out is the hauntingly beautiful music of Debussy, which enhances the ethereal atmosphere—almost like the score is a character in itself. The animation style, while not flashy, has a certain charm that lets the viewer linger on each frame. It’s distinctive in its quiet storytelling, a rarity in the animated landscape of its time.
