Synopsis
Quiet Bloom is a meditative and visually rich exploration of what it means to grow. Blending intimate monologue and a tender exchange between mother and daughter, the film invites the audience into the quiet, emotional world of Sarah, a young woman navigating the uncertain terrain of adulthood. Memory and emotion intertwine as plants serve as a visual and symbolic anchor for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
At its heart, Quiet Bloom is not just a coming-of-age story—it’s a cinematic ode to the slow, quiet work of blooming.
