Synopsis of Un altre edèn

En 1793, Benjamin Honey, un antiguo esclavo, y su esposa irlandesa, Patience, descubren una isla donde pueden construir una vida juntos. Un siglo después, sus descendientes aún viven en la isla de las Pomas, junto con un grupo diverso de vecinos. Son pobres y a menudo pasan hambre, pero viven protegidos de la hostilidad que les espera en el continente. La llegada de Matthew Diamond, un maestro de escuela jubilado, idealista pero lleno de prejuicios, convertido en misionero, altera el frágil equilibrio de la comunidad con sus esfuerzos por educar a los niños. Su presencia atrae la atención de las autoridades del continente que, ante lo que consideran unas condiciones calamitosas, fuerzan la evacuación de la isla para transformarla en un destino vacacional. Sus habitantes se verán obligados a buscar un nuevo paraíso. Inspirada en hechos reales ocurridos en Maine en 1912, 'Un altre edèn' explora, con lirismo y fuerza, las esperanzas, los sueños y la resistencia de quienes no encajan en un mundo brutalmente intolerante con la diferencia.
