ÉDEN
Hungary, Romania, Belgium
Éva is allergic to all kinds of chemical substances, air pollution, radio waves and electronic fields. She needs to live in total isolation and can have no contact with her environment. The slightest mistake may cause her death. Her only relations are with her brother and the doctors continuously experimenting on her. One day a psychiatrist comes to investigate if her illness is real or exists only in Éva’s mind. Will love be enough to save her?

Director’s Statement:
EDEN is firstly a metaphor of human solitude. I was interested in how people are affected by the complete isolation and the lack of real love. How important are human relationships in our lives, and how all of this is interconnected with the world around us, how one affects the other. Whether the fact that we are ruining our environment, the nature we live in, the earth would change our relationships. Once in a while it is told with some irony and humour.
