The film “Eden” by Ron Howard, starring Jude Law, is currently showing in theaters around the lake until Wednesday, April 23. Inspired by a true story that took place in the Galapagos, the movie tells the adventures of the Wittmer family, who moved to Floreana Island in 1932, drawn by the isolated life of Dr. Ritter and his lover, Dora. However, their attempt to build a new life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious baroness and her servants, leading to a dramatic clash between ideals and reality.
With a plot that addresses universal themes such as the meaning of life and the struggle for survival, “Eden” presents a raw and realistic portrait of the isolation chosen by the protagonists. Critics have highlighted Howard’s skill in recreating the hostile atmosphere of the island, far removed from the idyllic imagery typical of tropical tales. The cast also includes Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney, who portray complex characters immersed in tense and captivating relational dynamics.
