Eden

Let Your Spirits Soar

Helen Kunen (Joanna Going) is a young woman who is caught between her duties as a 1960´s housewife and her longings to be independent and free.

Married to Bill (Dylan Walsh), a teacher at Mt. Eden prep school, she feels stifled by her husband´s limited expectations for her and the physical restrictions of living with the debilitating disease multiple sclerosis. Dave (Sean Patrick Flanery), a troubled student who boards with them, develops a crush on Helen who, contrary to Bill´s hard-nosed approach, gently encourages him. Helen´s life becomes increasingly unbearable, but in the face of her despair she starts to realize her potential to be liberated from her physical being through dreams of flight and out-of-body experiences. However, with each incredible spiritual awakening, Helen grows more and more ill until eventually she slips into a coma. But, through the devotion of her husband and the young man who worships her, she finally discovers love´s overwhelming power to heal.
