We're thrilled to be able to present EDEN as part of our CFF@Home Online Exclusive strand.
EDEN is a coming-of-age film about a Protestant Confirmation camp on a summer’s week, set in the archipelago of Helsinki. The story is told through the eyes of four central characters. ALIISA is a 15-year-old intellectually confident non-believer who looses her critical attitude when she falls in love and starts making friends. JENNA, 15, is a queen bee who is certain that the camp will become her kingdom but is thrown into an existential crisis instead. PANU is a 15-year-old scared bird but during the camp, he is forced to open up. The experience of these teenagers is affected by TIINA, 25, a young and eager priest. Tiina is irritated by the mild and liberal attitudes of the other counselors, and she decides to revamp the camp towards religious ecstasy.
