TIEMPO ENTRE OLIVOS

What begins as a simple exploration of the olive oil production process transforms into a poetic meditation on belonging, time, and the fragile future of rural traditions. In this timely documentary, Fany de la Chica returns to her roots in Jaén to capture the lives of olive farmers in a small Andalusian town, both a decade ago and in the present. As the only prominent female filmmaker in her region, she felt a deep responsibility to reflect on a way of life that is slowly fading in the light of growing precarity in the countryside. Through an immersive rhythm, the simplicity and beauty of the landscapes, and the iconic piano melodies of Dorantes, this captivating film reveals some of Europe’s most pressing challenges: climate change, the agricultural crisis, immigration, and depopulation.
