Waiting for Happiness is a 2002 movie written and directed by Abderrahmane Sissako. Set in the serene, seaside town of Nouadhibou, a young man, Abdallah (Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamed), visits his mother, Soukenya (Fatimatou Mint Ahmeda), before he leaves to find his fortune in Europe. Estranged from the country for many years, he has forgotten his native tongue, which makes communication difficult. Abdallah also goes against his mother's wishes and wears Western clothing, which makes him look even more like an outsider. While visiting, Abdallah befriends a young orphan boy, Khatra (Khatra Ould Abdel Kader), who has latched on to the town electrician, Maata (Maata Ould Mohamed). Abdallah finds that although life in the village is simple, it can also be isolated and sometimes complicated. He must decide whether he wants to stay and reconnect with the life he once knew or leave it all behind to seek out a better existence.MORE[EDIT]
