Eden Is West

Elias is an immigrant seeking for a new home. He comes from the East to discover the West. He will wander unknown places, meet many different people, face attitudes and facts he used to ignore. And all that because he has a great wish: to survive and to build a new life. Elias’ epic errantry will reach completion in a “magic” way, in Paris.
