Synopsis:
Director Abderrahmane Sissako's "Waiting for Happiness" suggests a world of poignant contradictions, between immobility and departure, belonging and rootlessness, tradition and modernity, local culture and outside influence. Like Sissako's much-admired 1998 feature "Life on Earth," significant festival attention will follow.
