Description:
A modern day reworking of the Odyssey in a very contemporary political context, Eden Is West tells the story of Elias (Ricardo Scamarcio), an illegal immigrant trying to make his way to the modern day Eden of Paris, the city of enlightenment, culture and tolerance.

Uplifting, funny and, occasionally, heartrending, this is a film which treats its subject matter with immense respect, taking the audience on a journey in which they are both passenger and protagonist. This is a fable dealing in empathy, which seeks to put the viewer in the immigrant's shoes, to see the world from his perspective and to appreciate the immense difficulties, dangers and challenges he must face in order to survive this brave new world.
