The Wait (Arabic: الانتظار) is a Syrian drama TV series that was produced and aired in 2006. The work reflects the social and financial hardships faced by residents of slums ('عشوائيات, ashwa'iyat) in the first half of the 2000s in particular.[1] The work achieved success after receiving great praise.[1] The subject of the series was invisible and was not highlighted in the Syrian drama, which is known for its abundance of production.[1] The Wait portrays the paradoxes of existence, encompassing the conflicts between values and allure, destitution and prosperity, as well as greed and satisfaction. The series intricately portrays the living conditions in Damascus' slums, while also highlighting the fears, hopes, and dreams of the people living in these communities.[2]
