A film called "Olive"

I've only heard about this film. Maybe a select group of people in Los Angeles, where it will be released for only a week,
will have a chance to view it. It is breaking alot of 'rules' of filmmaking and sounds like a unique beautiful story:
"Olive" is about a little girl who transforms the lives of three people without speaking a word.

Here's an article in the LA Times (with trailer):

Here is the NPR audio coverage (transcript available):
