A new trailer has arrived for The Absence of Eden, a new film led by Zoe Saldaña set for screens in the United States from 12th April through Vertical/ Roadside Attractions. No word on a UK release as yet.
Marco Perego and Rick Rapoza wrote the screenplay for the film with Perego directing. Garrett Hedlund and Adria Arjona are also among the cast.
The Absence of Eden takes place at the border between the United States and Mexico – a hellish landscape inhabited by coyotes, armed officers, desperate immigrants, and refugees. When Esmee (Saldaña), a young woman working as a private dancer in Mexico, is forced to commit a violent act of self-defense that results in the death of a cartel member, she flees her homeland for sanctuary in the United States. Guided by a ruthless Coyote and a group of undocumented immigrants, she befriends a young mother and her daughter along the way. Before crossing the border, the mother is taken from the group, and Esmee promises to protect her daughter and help them reunite again in America, touching off an interlocking story about people struggling to survive on America’s border with Mexico.
Check out the new trailer below.
