This film tells the tale of young Wilma’s (Kat Lanteigne) romantic escapades with Christine (Jen Wilson) a woman from the “outside” world. Surrealistically set in the 1950s, the town of Eden is a place where the air is haunted with silence. Wilma has to choose whether to redeem herself in the eyes of her religiously obsessed brother James (Mar Andersons), her neurotic chain-smoking Mother (Carole McCormick), and her opprobrious Father (David Fredericks), or escape Eden, a place where one can never feel quite clean enough.
