    Waiting time is a documentary about common people's lives, people who are waiting for a kidney transplant, or to do their life again, ...a document which would legalize them; a fancy of dignity. There are two versions, one them is 50 minutes long and the other one is 30 minutes long. Some of the stories are shown in both versions and two stories have been added in the longest version, where the situation of immigrants and person, whose future is only death are told, and that's their waiting time. It was filmed in Vigo and Ourense (Galician-Spain), but any city could be the setting of the stories which are common and recognizable, they emphasize the time in a life interval of those who are waiting for a kidney transplant, a battered woman, a woman who suffer from AIDS, some immigrants, and an old man who strongly desires to live but whose time is running out. A warning note to society, a photograph of the climbing of a mountain, of the stone we are pushing, distress, solitude and suffering of the main characters.
