Waiting for Happiness (original title: Heremakono) is a 2002 drama film written and directed by Abderrahmane Sissako. Main characters are a student, who is home in a very small outpost in the desert for a visit, an electrician and his child apprentice, and the local women. The film is characterized by a succession of images of the daily life of the characters which seem unique to their particular setting. The viewer must interpret the scenes without much help from narrator or plot.
