Trailer For Zoe Saldaña and Garrett Hedlund's Border Drama Thriller THE ABSENCE OF EDEN
Roadside Attractions has revealed the trailer for the dramatic thriller The Absence of Eden, which takes place at the border between the United States and Mexico, “a hellish landscape inhabited by coyotes, armed officers, many desperate immigrants, and refugees.”
The movie stars Zoe Saldaña as a woman who flees across the border, and helps protect a young girl. Garrett Hedlund takes on the role of an ICE agent.
In the film, “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 must flee her homeland to find 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 in America, touching off an interlocking story about the people struggling to survive on America’s border with Mexico.”
The movie comes from Marco Perego and the cast also includes Adria Arjona, Tom Waits, and Chris Coy. Roadside Attractions will release The Absence of Eden in select theaters starting April 12th, 2024.
