This intimate portrait set in rural England is poetic and at times raw, following the lives of young farmers in their family businesses for a year. Taking part in the modern world while maintaining a strong sense of respect for tradition, these youths have a profound connection with the land. “Tune for the Blood” develops this connection, highlighting it with original music from bassist Danny Thompson while at the same time exploring the challenges that this new generation of farmers must face.

The title of the film is taken from a poem by John Masefield.
