The synopsis of Eden
Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his wife Dora Strauch are two European idealists who flee Germany in 1929, repudiating the bourgeois values they believe are destroying the true nature of humanity, and move to the uninhabited island of Floreana, in the Galapagos archipelago.
But their coveted solitude doesn’t last long.
They are initially joined by Margaret and Heinz Wittmer, serious and competent colonists, and later by the baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn accompanied by her two lovers, an Ecuadorian servant, and a piano, with the intention of opening a luxury hotel on the island. The bad weather, the wild fauna, and the total lack of comforts and civilization make their cohabitation very difficult but the greatest challenge will be coexisting with their desperate neighbors who are willing to do anything to assert themselves.
