Synopsis
Who decides what is normal? A unique love story about friendship and a view of the world from different perspectives, Waiting For Forever explores the connections people make in the face of life's changes. Best friends while they were growing up, Emma and Will lost touch a long time ago - as far as she knows. To Will, Emma never stopped being the most important person in his life. Believing them to be forever linked, he goes wherever she goes. Will doesn't have a home, a car, or a "real" job. He survives on his talent as a juggler and entertainer - talents honed through years of showing off for Emma. When her father gets sick, Emma returns to their hometown, trying to leave behind her complicated love life and failing career as a TV actress. As its characters face love, death and their own preconceptions, Waiting For Forever questions the realities of life.
