The Waiting City

Directed by Australian rising talent Claire McCarthy, 'The Waiting City' tells the story of an outwardly happy Australian couple who journey to India to collect their adopted baby. When they arrive in Calcutta they discover that the adoption arrangements have still to be finalised. Soon the intoxicating mystic power of the city pulls them in separate and unexpected directions and the vulnerability of their marriage begins to reveal itself. The first Australian feature film to be shot entirely in India, 'The Waiting City' is an intimate, complex love story of transformation, set against the exhilarating epic backdrop of Calcutta. Stars Radha Mitchell and Joel Edgerton.
