Description

A naked figure washes up on the treacherous shores of Gibraltar. Seemingly delirious, he claims to be Christopher Columbus, and is taken to an insane asylum in Seville. As astonishing tales unfold, a nurse named Consuela becomes entangled in his story, struggling to discern reality from fantasy. As her patient's narrative deepens, Consuela finds herself drawn to him - but the lines between truth and fiction blur. Meanwhile, an Interpol officer named Emile Germain is searching for a missing person across the continent. His investigation leads him to Spain, where the two stories collide in unexpected ways. Part romance, part mysterious thriller, Waiting for Columbus explores the fragility of life stories and the power of human connection.
