Director Mauro Russo Rouge’s Bloom Up (2020/2021 festival run, widely released 2022) is an intimate documentary that follows Hermes and Elisabetta “Betta” — a middle‑aged Italian couple who run a neighborhood pet store by day and organize group sex parties by night. The film treats its subject with sustained closeness and visual care, aiming to humanize a stigmatized lifestyle rather than sensationalize it.
