BloomOn an Ancient Greek island, an abandoned boy and girl were raised by two old farm couples. Daphnis peacefully tended his goats, and Chloe quietly cared for the sheep - until romance, pirates, and destiny all intervened. For 2000 years the legend of young Shepherds growing up in harmony with nature and each other has inspired poets and painters, composers and choreographers.
