What Is The Waiting List About?

The premise of The Waiting List without spoilers.

At a dilapidated bus station in rural Cuba, a growing line of travelers waits for the only bus that can be repaired, while every passing bus is already full. As they settle in, bonds form: young engineer Emilio falls for a woman heading to her Spanish fiancé, and the other passengers rally around a blind man to help him reach the front. When the lone bus breaks down, tension erupts, but the group unites, transforming the station into a welcoming place where no one wishes to leave.
