Through the Olive Trees

A movie about making a movie about making a movie, so at least one of them might work out. A director recasts a scene with a young man opposite a woman from his past, and the line between performance and reality gets sticky. The romance never quite catches fire, but the awkward silence afterward feels oddly earned.
