Karen Lips is researcher and lives for several years in a tiny little shack in Costa Rica to observe frogs. When she leaves the cloud forest for a short time and returns, the frogs are gone. All of them. Karen sets out to find them – and encounters a horrible truth. Mysterious deaths occur all over the planet and have a similar pattern. Why have so many species vanished? And what does it all have to do with us? The Waiting is the new animated documentary short film from the creators of the award winning Kaputt/Broken – The Women’s Prison at Hoheneck (2016): Alexander Lahl, Max Moench, Hannes Schulze and Volker Schlecht.
