Synopsis
Eden is a coming-of-age film about a religious summer camp in the archipelago of Helsinki, as seen through the eyes of four youths who are torn between ideology, independence and falling in love. Aliisa is the intellectually confident non-believer, Jenna is the queen bee and Panu is the scared bird. The experience of these teenagers is affected by Tiina, a young and eager priest. Eden is a film about group identities and about conforming to the values of others.
