Lista de Espera (Waiting List) is a 2000 Cuban film directed by Juan Carlos Tabío. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
In the film, people waiting in a bus station start building a little society of their own. Some suggest that the society created resembles the Communist ideal that the Cuban government has tried to accomplish, whilst others see the film as a critique of the failures of the Cuban system.Synopsis
Emilio, jeune ingenieur au chomage, arrive a la gare routiere d'un village de Cuba. Des dizaines de personnes y attendent l'arrivee d'un bus ou, mieux encore, la reparation du car de la station que le chef de gare a entreprise deux jours plus tot. Jacqueline entre a son tour et rejoint la file d'attente, sous le regard enchante d'Emilio. Un bus apparait enfin, mais n'offre qu'une seule place. La tension monte et une dispute eclate pour designer le chanceux acquereur de ce billet.
