Days of Waiting, or Ruzhay-e Entezar (Persian: روزهای انتظار), is an Iranian film and was directed by Asghar Hashemi. This film was Hashemi's first feature as director and the first Iranian film happening in the desert in winter-time.
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. But he has exerted enough intimidation to make his colleagues to think twice before trying to break his prices. The pinched tent-dwellers assign a representative to go buy barley in the nearby town. 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.[1]
