Days of Waiting (1987 film)

Days of Waiting, or Ruzhay-e Entezar (Persian: روزهای انتظار), is an Iranian film and was directed by Asghar Hashemi.

Fed up with the unfair prices of a speculator who buys their crop in advance only to sell them their own harvest at multiple prices, a number of tent-dwellers living amid the central desert of Iran decide to go to other sellers to procure fodder for their starving flocks.

Later when the delegate is to carry the fodder to their place, he finds out that lorry drivers refuse to take the risk of the hazardous trip to the snow-covered area with too many deadly moors.

Although the story has an underlying theme of adventure, I have preferred to concentrate on the human honour and dignity, though a remote concept to the urban population, which drives the natives of arid deserts to keep on struggling for survival.

Although I could easily create adventure and suspense, I dwelled on a course that begins with life and ends with death.
