Eden is West
Legendary Greek director Costa-Gavras returns with perhaps his most personal film, a playful fairy tale about the hardships suffered by illegal immigrants, and the magical nature of a world in which every experience is full of both promise and threat. Desperate to break free from the poverty of his homeland, Elias (Ricardo Scamarcio) boards a ramshackle people-smuggling trawler to France. But when the boat is raided by police, Elias leaps into the ocean, eventually finding himself washed up on a Mediterranean beach resort called Eden. So begins Elias' odyssey across Western Europe to Paris, where wondrous promise, helpful new friends and perilous dangers await him every step of the way.
