A NETFLIX SERIES
We gotta turn back. There are still two girls on the island.
Not a chance.
-We need to be there on time. -We can't just leave them.
Relax. We have another trip scheduled. Some of the staff are still there.
The girls will be in good hands.
Fran.
Eva.
Everything we eat is grown right here on the island.
Totally sustainable.
Eden is self-sufficient.
One person's problems are everyone's problems.
We all work together to solve them.
Like a beehive.
-Everyone's a worker bee. -Something like that.
How many people live here?
-53. -But we're still growing.
-Yeah. -Little by little.
Come with us.
This way.
Deep breaths, everyone.
As you can see, we work hard so they can live comfortably.
Comfortably? In these things?
These are modules.
We designed them to make the most of the island's resources.
-"We"? More like you. -What?
-He designed everything. -Nah.
-Wow. -What can I say?
-No way. -We like to take care of our people.
You're also invited to become lifetime members of the foundation.
No, that's okay.
I wouldn't mind staying for a few days.
What's it cost?
-Nothing. -Nothing?
This way. We have more to show you.
We're not a business.
People choose to come. Nobody is forced to be here.
Everyone pitches in. That's how we make this community work.
With generosity, plain and simple.
Eva.
Eva, don't.
Eva!
Wait a second.
What does this have to do with the party last night?
-We need a source of income. -The drink.
Yep. We make it with 100% natural ingredients.
We'll be launching it in a couple of weeks.
You'll all be in the commercial.
Will you also advertise your screwups?
You did leave five people stranded here.
Throwing a party in paradise isn't as easy as you might think.
That's not my problem.
Holy shit, dude.
And this is our apartment.
-Were we the only ones left behind? -Why do you ask?
She's looking for this girl.
As far as we know, you're the only ones.
By tomorrow, this will all be behind you.
Tomorrow?
You're kidding, right?
Don't worry. We have plenty of room.
You can relax and enjoy yourselves.
We'll let you know when the boat gets here.
Do we have to keep our wristbands on?
Yes. That way, everyone will know you're VIPs.
Solid!
Ulises, show them where they'll be staying.
This way.
-I could report you for this. -Aldo, let it go.
-What's your deal, man? -Yeah, chill out.
Sorry.
Don't be such a grouch. Look how nice this place is.
It's been taken care of.
My God. What time is it?
Morning, honey.
Hi.
This jet lag. I'm starving.
-Zoa isn't here. -I can see that.
-She's been gone since Friday. -She's probably at Judith's.
Any eggs left?
Have you talked to Mom?
-No. Why? -They released her from the clinic.
She asked if she could stop by.
Sorry, Gabi. You know the rules.
-But why not? She's all better now. -Sure she is. Just like the last 20 times.
She's not my responsibility. We've talked about this.
I'd rather not bring it up in front of…
Thanks.
What time is it?
I have another flight later. You doing okay?
Yeah. Just like always.
That's my girl.
So, you'll be gone tomorrow?
DAD'S HOME
WITH A NEW GIRLFRIEND. ARE YOU COMING BACK OR WHAT?
ZOA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?
Is this where we're sleeping?
-No idea. These boots are killing me. -Big shocker there.
I'm so beat, I'd sleep on the floor.
I'd settle for a decent mattress.
Aldo, module 11.
Ibón, 12.
-This way. -Hold up. We're not bunking together?
No. We assigned you beds that are available.
África…
module six.
Zoa, module eight.
Charly, module seven.
-Enjoy your rest. -Thanks.
So we're neighbors, huh?
Hey.
Whoa. Awesome. Is this all for me?
"Eden. Welcome. Courtesy of the Eden Foundation."
-Do you want some? -Nah. It's all yours.
You're the crazy chick who tried to take a dive off that cliff.
-How's it going? -Fine.
Bad trip, huh?
-Or are you always that whacked out? -No, never.
Thanks a lot.
It's all good. You never told me your name.
-Zoa. -Zoa.
Nicolás. Or Nico.
There's not a lot of privacy here. But don't worry. You get used to it.
-That's your bed. -Oh. I thought it was hers.
Nah, Claudia has her own.
Care to say hello to our new roommate, Clau?
Hi.
Claudia's not big on making new friends. But she grows on you after a while.
I can't believe they left without us.
Yeah, bummer.
But hey, at least you found us.
Give me a bottle.
Do you not see my wristband?
-Give me a bottle. -What's going on?
What's with your bartender? He won't let me have a bottle.
Right on!
"Courtesy of the Eden Foundation."
Hell yeah.
Damn.
You should sleep.
You'll be more clearheaded in the morning.
Who's in charge here?
Don't you have, like, HR or something?
-What's up? -Your bosses keep blowing me off.
-Who handles complaints? -They aren't my bosses.
Fine. The queen bees or whatever you call them.
Normally, we talk to Ulises.
But it's late. I'd wait till morning.
If I could, I'd swim home right this minute.
Are you telling me they don't have boats here?
If I were you, I'd stop asking questions.
Excuse me. I'll ask as many questions as I want.
Fine. Have it your way.
What the fuck, man?
Sorry. It's the quickest way.
It's not that it hurts. I just wasn't ready for it.
Yeah, right.
-Dick. -Your turn.
No way.
You might bring in a virus from outside.
It's mandatory.
I'm healthy.
-Saúl, it's okay. -You all look hilarious.
-Do we look stupid or what? -Just a bit.
Some of you still have alcohol in your system.
Go figure.
Put these on.
All right.
-All good. -So, we passed?
-Congrats. -I'm good like this.
If you want to walk around, you need to wear a uniform.
-We're already wearing wristbands. -Any news on the boat?
-It's made it to port. -And?
They can't return yet. Conditions are too rough.
So, when will they?
You'll know the second we do.
-Man… -Let's go.
We look like we're part of the family now.
Put it on, Aldo.
-The blue brings out your eyes, hot stuff. -You're hilarious.
Thanks, Saúl.
No problem.
Fucking perfect.
It won't work.
Who are you trying to call?
Nobody. Just wanted to check my social media.
I thought you gave up your phone when you got on the boat.
Where'd you hide this?
In my pocket.
More like your boots. Hand it over.
It's so ridiculous that we can't use them.
You've seen there's no coverage.
I wouldn't worry. You'll get along just fine without this.
I won't. I'm going through massive withdrawal right now.
Do you have a cigarette?
No. We don't allow smoking.
Why not?
Especially not for someone like you. Your lungs don't look too good.
What do you think I am, an idiot?
No, but we do need to take care of our bodies.
They're our homes.
We need to rid ourselves of our anxiety and be present.
That's our goal here in Eden. To live in the moment.
Thanks, but I heard enough sermons in Catholic school.
Look at this.
"Together in paradise"?
It's the first thing Astrid said to me when we got here.
What's this?
Oh, this one came along much later.
Well, I've got a tattoo of a dollar sign.
But I'm not going to tell you where.
Fair enough.
The foundation's style is a little out there, don't you think?
Foundation? This is a goddamn cult.
They take our phones, keep us prisoners,
and if you go out, they send a drone after you.
What are they up to?
Damn.
Well, I'm in no hurry to leave.
-Catch you later. -He's something, isn't he?
If I miss my meeting with my client,
these people are in for a world of trouble.
But what do they gain by keeping us here?
Take the samples to Saúl's lab.
I'll be right back.
Hey.
What's up? Nice out here, isn't it?
Mind if I keep you company?
Okay, then.
What's your name?
Hey, are you okay? You're crying.
-What? You want to watch or something? -I wanted to talk to you.
I saw you with Judith at the party.
It's strange that she left without telling me.
-Did you see her get on the boat? -Who's Judith?
You hooked up with her.
You've got the wrong guy.
No, it was you. I'm sure of it.
I'm telling you, you've got the wrong person.
Erik Satie.
Some people think it's a sad piece. But I don't think so.
It's more melancholy. See, sadness is negative.
Melancholy connects you to something lost.
If you remember it, it makes you happy.
In Portugal, they call that saudade.
You play very well.
Not as well as you.
How do you know I play?
Your turn.
Last time I played, I got my ass kicked.
That won't happen here.
No, I can't.
What happened?
My father.
Ibón, let us help you.
Let me help you.
What's your name?
Alma.
We've got a perimeter breach. Northwest zone, sector four.
Where were you off to?
I don't know.
Just checking the place out.
It's not safe to ride around if you don't know where you're going.
You might get stuck in the sand where no one can find you.
Or fall into a ravine and die.
Or you could ask someone to show you around
instead of stealing something.
How'd you find me?
-There you are. Finally. -Hi.
Hey, what's the name of that tall, blond, Nordic-looking dude?
Orson?
I asked him a question, and he freaked out.
-What did you ask? -Doesn't matter.
I want to get home.
To your boyfriend?
Girlfriend, maybe?
-Zero for two. -It's not my day.
Not mine either.
It's Gabi. My little sister.
I'm an only child.
People say we end up being weirdos.
-You don't look like a weirdo. -Then what do I look like?
A smart-ass.
Hi there.
Little Squirrel?
-Yes? -From Zoa.
It's already paid for.
Bye.
See ya.
Eva, thank you for your loyalty and vigilance.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Astrid.
You have the privilege of choosing who we will evaluate today.
Her.
Me?
But I'm not a member--
Doesn't matter. You'll see. It's a one-of-a-kind experience.
-Really? -Yeah. Go on.
Hello, Zoa.
-Hello. -We'd like to get to know you better.
I'm not all that interesting, really…
Well, I think you're very special.
And my intuition is never wrong. What? You don't believe me?
Did you know that the atoms around us know the truth about us
even before we do?
Check out Zoa.
What's on your mind?
I already have.
I don't know what to say.
What do you think?
You can tell us what's bothering you.
I want to keep watching her.
I need to go home.
I know there's a storm, so the boat has to wait, but…
-Do you feel uncomfortable here? -It's not that.
My friend Judith--
You're worried about her.
Yeah.
-Were you friends before your trip? -Since we were kids.
Eden chose you, and you chose to invite her as well.
-I know I wasn't supposed to. -It's not a problem.
You had the best of intentions, right?
We all make mistakes.
In any case, we forgive you.
So, tell us about yourself. Who are you?
I'm 19. I'm in my second year of college, studying biology.
I live with my sister, Gabi. She's turning 16 today.
My dad travels a lot, so we pretty much take care of ourselves.
And your mother?
She's not around.
My parents separated when I was 12 and Gabi was 9.
It's not normal for a mom to leave her daughters like that.
-A mother's place is with her children. -You have kids?
What's wrong with your mom?
She was…
well, is, a heroin addict.
How does that make you feel?
I mostly feel sorry for my sister.
Every time my mother gets out of rehab, Gabi
gets all excited.
I tell her, "Little Squirrel, don't get your hopes up."
"Mom's gonna relapse."
-Little Squirrel. -Yeah.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE SISTER LITTLE SQUIRREL
"Little Squirrel, I need time alone."
"Respect my decision. Don't come looking for me. I'm fine."
"I love you. Happy birthday. Zoa."
CALLING…
The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.
Please try again later, or send…
Have you ever thought maybe your parents don't deserve daughters like you?
I don't know. My mother isn't well.
Any mother who loves her children would never make them suffer like that.
I mean, based on what you're saying,
it seems to me your mother doesn't love you.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but don't lie to yourself.
Say it with me.
"My mother doesn't love me."
Say it.
"My mother doesn't love me."
"My mother doesn't love me. She despises me."
"My mother doesn't love me."
-"She despises me." -Louder.
"My mother doesn't love me. She despises me."
They can barely hear you, Zoa.
"My mother doesn't love me. She despises me."
-Louder. -"My mother doesn't love me."
"She despises me."
When you leave here,
remember you met people willing to share all their love with you…
because they know how special you are.
