The Big Wait

Welcome to Forrest, a small town isolated in a flat and treeless desert with a population of two people: Greg & Kate. They are there to maintain Forrest's emergency airstrip.

As they wait for an emergency landing, they keep Forrest’s one street and six vacant houses in pristine condition by mowing the green front lawns, blowing the leaves, vacuuming the red dust… At the same time, they find themselves increasingly enjoying the inherent freedom of Forrest by indulging in more wild activities.

But in the face of the uncertainty and ever looming shadow of madness, how long can they keep up this fragile balance between play and routine before something finally cracks?
