Adam Moins Eve

The film tells two parallel stories: the biblical tale of Adam and Eve, and a modern-day narrative about a wealthy businessman, Adam, who is having an affair with a married woman, Eve. In the biblical portion, Adam and Eve are tempted by the serpent and cast out of the Garden of Eden. In the modern story, Adam must confront the consequences of his actions, which threaten to destroy his family and reputation.
