Ladies in Waiting

Ladies in Waiting

25th TiDF: World Premiere

As the era of psychiatric asylums in Europe draws to an end, Ladies in Waiting opens a window to its past.
Through the unique perspectives of caregivers from the Psychiatric Hospital of Attica – the last remaining one in Greece – and the lives of care-receivers, we take a peek inside the taboo world of mental illness. A film about boundaries, life experiences, and discrimination, deconstructing and redefining what mental health looks and sounds like.
