The Dish & the Spoon is a 2011 American film directed by Alison Bagnall, starring Greta Gerwig, Olly Alexander, Eleonore Hendricks and Amy Seimetz.

[1] Rose (Greta Gerwig), in a depressive episode after being cheated on by her husband (Adam Rottenberg), drives far from home to isolate herself at a boarded-up beach town in Delaware on a cloudy fall day.

She spends all her cash on beer, and runs into a comatose boy (Olly Alexander), atop a desolate lighthouse.

Rose returns home with beer and a pizza (bought with the stolen money), which the two eat before falling asleep on the floor next to the fireplace.

They generally display different responses to their experience of being jilted, Rose often shouting fiercely at or about her husband and his lover, while the boy is more lost and subdued.

But one phone call to her husband begins with Rose screaming insults at him, but then listening attentively to something to which she responds only with an occasional and solemn "yes."

Roses initiates a role-play scenario with the boy, and dresses him up as a woman so she can play the part of the macho male.

The two plan on attending the dance, but the boy does not tell Rose that Emma will be there (perhaps because he doesn't want to feed her desire for revenge).

The next day they have a vintage photo taken of them in wedding clothes, then finishing their dream relationship by showing him her future burial plot.
