ComingSoon spoke with The Absence of Eden writer and director Marco Perego and star Zoë Saldaña about the intense drama movie.
“The Absence of Eden takes place at the border between the United States and Mexico – a hellish landscape inhabited by coyotes, armed officers, desperate immigrants, and refugees,” reads‘s synopsis. “When Esmee , a young woman working as a private dancer in Mexico, is forced to commit a violent act of self-defense that results in the death of a cartel member, she flees her homeland for sanctuary in the United States.
And that’s why I felt compelled to be a part of this — to force myself to take a deep dive and put myself in someone like Esmee’s shoes and walk her path, you know? AI did it for the purpose of, one, to support my husband and his art — because I have a great level of respect for Marco as an artist. And two, to just add this sense of humanity to a conversation surrounding people that is, more often than not, forgotten.
The most important thing was to really have a conversation about human beings. It really was about that. You really nailed it. You really understand what I was trying to say. It was about the human aspect of that, not just one side.
