Bloom n Living is a slow documentary about restoring and living on a rural property in Italy — told through light, sound and physical work, without narration. We are Ross and Helen, reviving a 1967 farmhouse and one hectare of long-neglected land in Umbria. After decades of silence, olive groves, gardens and terraces became wild thickets. Our work follows the slow process of rebuilding a working landscape — clearing dense overgrowth, restoring stone structures on steep slopes, planting a kitchen garden, caring for flowers and maintaining the land season by season. What to expect: • Land & garden restoration • Olive groves, flower gardens & future vegetable garden • Quiet long-form films (40–60 min) without commentary • Seasonal rural life in the Italian countryside • Our Maremma sheepdog Hardy By restoring the land, we restore ourselves.
