Arte - Mission Paradise (2010)
Eden a persistent utopia, a quest as fascinating as it is incongruous, has never ceased to obsess the collective imagination. With credits shaped as a travel diary, and dream-like landscapes shot in HD, this documentary tries to immortalize today's earthly paradises. The two directors traveled all over the world, from Buthan to Cuba, from Polynesia to Brittany, observing and interviewing those who are after this crazy quest that leads to Eden. On their way, they question this universal myth, retracing its evolution through the ages, and its different representations in the various civilizations.
