Edén

Estefanía Cortés
Spain
 - 2022

Four strangers resort to Eden, a clandestine company located in the middle of nature, to end their lives. A guilt-ridden young woman who can’t forget her past; an old man who wants to spare his family further suffering; a charismatic woman with a personality disorder; and a desperate man hiding a dark secret. Eden brings them together right before their death, but is it that easy to escape from life?
