The Eden Express

Based on the memoir of the same title by Mark Vonnegut (son of Kurt Vonnegut), The Eden Express depicts Mark’s 1970 quest alongside his girlfriend Virge, leaving his famous father’s house in Nixon’s America to go west in search of a better way of life on a British Columbia commune – ‘Eden’ on earth. However, as this new utopia comes into focus, Mark starts to hear voices and see wild visions that give him ominous instructions, marking the start of his journey with bipolar disorder.
