Focused on a director and his leading actress while they are off the set. They discuss the discrepancies between film and digital cinema, Western and Eastern food, and try to capture an unfiltered (and seemingly impossible) sense of "reality" on film.—Alec

During the production of his latest movie, a bold director expresses the need to alter the scenario by adding a brand-new scene. With this in mind, the scene must be long and realistic to emphasise the aesthetic of female nudity. After all, the auteur strongly believes this addition will immensely improve the film's narrative. And just like that, a seemingly endless string of negotiations with the lead female protagonist begins between lunch and dinner. Indeed, the two artists elaborate on the differences between analogue and digital cinematography, the sophistication of diverse cuisines, and the history of cinema. But the question remains. Can they conclude?—Nick Riganas
