Synopsis

A constantly moving camera immerses us from the get go into a colorful universe of profound emotion; a bunch of teenagers journeys from tragedy to farce, from romance to rapture. The driving force of the story is Eden; a young girl who loves her brother beyond reason. When he dies in a freak accident, Eden discovers the existence of his secret girlfriend. Eden starts getting increasingly closer to her, testing the boundaries of love, obsession and identity. Through a wild ride full of twists and turns, the two girls' connection will reach into the depths of grief to lead to a celebration of acceptance. A film able to exorcise every evil, based on the filmmaker’s life.
