Mauro lives on the sidelines in Naples, but his heart flies off afar, to Mindelo, his homeland, to a Carnival which is a dream, promise and return. The film tells of time suspended by a desire: to return to Capo Verde, where childhood is the scent of a gentle breeze and tar, and where the Mandinga dance like ancestral spirits. It is a film on the right to move, love, exist and on the sweetness of belonging to oneself.
Waithood was directed by Paola Piscitelli.
Waithood runs for 1h 7min, and was released in 2026.
