Shot indoors in an atmosphere that evokes the feelings of quarantine life, “The Wait” is a film made for Sidaction (the renowned French charity fighting against AIDS); created by WNP, directed by Ben Lacour (BIRTH), and narrated by French actress Mélanie Doutey. Due to a recent drop in HIV testing caused by COVID-19, the film stresses that for the first time in a long time, the world faces a heightened risk of the epidemic’s resurgence - a grim and unsettling reality that urgently calls for new donations. Because after a year of being on hold, the fight against AIDS can’t wait another twelve months, or even another day.
