Set amidst Buenos Aires' Jewish porteño neighborhood of Once, Waiting for the Messiah is a delightful romantic comedy directed by one of the rising stars of Argentine cinema. Twenty-something Ariel is being groomed to inherit his father's kosher restaurant, marry a nice Jewish girl and settle down. Instead, Ariel abandons his close-knit community and takes a night job as a video editor at a cable network. At the same moment, Santamaria, a newly homeless bank employee tries to put his life back together after world stock markets plunge. Their lives overlap when Ariel's tempting bisexual co-worker, Laura, convinces him to work on a documentary about the banker's story. As his affection for Laura grows, Ariel finds himself drifting ever further from Estela, his longtime neighborhood sweetheart.
