The religious community of Bose is born on December, 8th 1965, the day of closing of the Vatican II council, when Enzo Bianchi decides to live, alone, in a rented house of the village of Bose. First monks joined him three years later: among them, a woman and a pastor. Today, they are 80 people, men, and women.
This series is about the second monastery that they opened a few years ago in the south of Italy, in the region of Puglia. The closest towns are Ostuni and Brindisi. The monastery is much smaller. Just five monks live there: Daniele, Domenico, Dario, Andrea and Raffaele. They pray, take care of hundreds of olive trees and a garden that provides almost every sort of vegetables and fruits to satisfy the monks needs and moreover, they prepare jams, honey, sauces, tisane and so on to sell to the public. They also give hospitality in some periods of the year to pilgrims or to anybody that needs a bed and accepts the rules. a very simple, poor, dedicated life.
