| About the film:
Approaching their tenth anniversary, Billy and Breda Farrell seem to have the ideal marriage. But at night behind closed doors, Breda knows that their intimate bond is slowly unraveling: she tells a friend can’t remember how long it’s been since they’ve made love, as Billy seems to have lost interest. In fact, Billy has also become fascinated with Imelda Egan, the vivacious daughter of a colleague. His brief social exchanges with her leading to unexpected thoughts that distract him from Breda. Breda hopes that the upcoming anniversary will provide the couple a chance to relive their earlier, carefree days together. She suggests that they go out separately with friends and meet up at the local club. At first, things seem to go well: but under the prying eyes of their friends and the influence of Imelda’s nearby presence, Billy panics, and makes a crucial decision that leaves Breda all alone. Next, Breda and Billy must finally begin to confront the serious issues that have caused them to slowly drift apart.
An intimate, universal drama about a couple in crisis, Eden is adapted by Eugene O’Brien from his acclaimed stage play, directed by Declan Recks, produced by David Collins, and stars Aidan Kelly as Billy and Eileen Murphy as Breda. |
