Synopsis

Before the Fall director Francisco Javier Gutiérrez returns to Spain to deliver THE WAIT, a sinister folk horror tragedy that takes place in the dark, magic and forgotten Andalusian countryside, a place marked by ancestral traditions. The director of Rings delivers his most intimate and brutal film, portraying the macabre descent into hell of a man who suffered the tragic loss of his family.

Eladio (Victor Clavijo), a hunting estate keeper, takes a bribe from a veteran hunter. Weeks later, his whole life falls apart. Death, guilt and revenge will take over. What looked like the opportunity of a lifetime turns into a macabre descent to hell, where Eladio will test his boundaries.
