In line at a fan convention, two fans wait (and wait) for their elusive idol. As merch flies, nerves fray and reality blurs, devotion deepens into delusion. Waiting for a Hero unpacks the absurdity, tragedy and tenderness of loving someone who doesn’t know you exist and asks who or what are they really waiting for?
