''Eden'' is a 2016 Irish film, directed by Robbie Walsh (of ''Series/LoveHate'' and ''Michael Inside'' fame).

The film follows a homeless man called Adam (Johnny Elliott) as he goes about his day trying to keep himself occupied - interacting with various residents of Dublin City.

!!Tropes:

* ABoyAndHisX: One of the earliest sequences in the film is Adam playing with a dog in the park.
* BeardOfSorrow: Well justified since Adam's homeless and therefore probably doesn't get many opportunities to shave.
* BitchAlert: The woman at the bus stop deliberately trying to ignore Adam when he walks by signals that she's not going to bring much joy to his day.
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Averted with Adam, who's quite subdued. But he encounters a pair of other junkies, one of whom misplaced his own pants while sleeping and another who threatens people with a dirty needle.
* DeusExMachina: Mentioned by the taxi driver, who was formerly homeless. When he ended up with hypothermia, the government stepped in with an allowance - which was enough for him to get back on his feet. [[spoiler: Adam has no such luck]].
* DublinSkanger: One minor character who jabs people with his used heroin needle.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Adam calls out a rude woman at the bus stop who goes out of her way to ignore him.
* DyingDream: [[spoiler: While dying outside the park, Adam dreams of the day he was evicted from his house]].
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The film covers only one day, with the first and last scenes being the morning.
* FriendToAllChildren:
** Adam has a soft spot for children [[spoiler: considering he is a father himself]]. He [[spoiler: gives Claire the prostitute the twenty euro note to treat her daughter on her birthday]] and mentions making sure the children at the playground he sleeps in don't see him.
** Eve admits to breaking off a relationship to a father separated from his wife because she didn't want to be responsible for the child growing up without a father. She also mentions that she's helping reunite a boy with his estranged mother.
* GivenNameReveal: The prostitute Adam had talked to earlier is found depressed [[spoiler: because all her money had been stolen]]. After Adam talks to her, he asks her to reveal her first name. [[spoiler: It's Claire]].
* GoldDigger: A rich thirtysomething who's just lost his job mentions a fiance who he knows doesn't love him - "all she loves is money" - and is only with him after years of buying her affection.
* HighClassGloves: Eve wears a pair and says they are fleece-lined.
* HomelessPigeonPerson: Downplayed. Adam spends some time playing with a dog he finds in the park, and spends more time watching ducks in the river.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Claire is revealed to have one, [[spoiler: as she's trying to earn money for her daughter's birthday]].
* ImpliedLoveInterest: What else would you expect when Adam meets Eve?
* {{Irony}}: Eve works for a charity and is introduced [[spoiler: when Adam shows charity to ''her'']].
* LamePunReaction: Adam bursts out laughing when he finds out he's talking to a woman called [[MeaningfulName Eve]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: A posh twentysomething antagonises Adam for no good reason, and mockingly only gives him a 50 cent coin. [[spoiler: He and his girlfriend are then mugged by a junkie]].
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: A lot of shots run quite long, giving the film an almost documentary feel.
* LowerClassLout: The homeless man who threatens Adam early on.
* ManlyTears: Adam by accident when he tells his backstory to Eve.
* MinimalistCast: Adam will rarely spend a scene with more than one other character (the exception being when a posh boy and his girlfriend approach him]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: The posh boy's girlfriend tries to stop him being nastier to Adam or antagonising the junkie even further. ''She'' ends up getting stabbed with his needle]].
* NotSoDifferent: Adam and the prostitute Claire's situations parallel each other, and [[spoiler: both have children they wish to provide for]].
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Adam has to explain to a taxi driver who finds him leaning against his car that he wasn't attempting to steal it.
* TheOner: When Adam and Eve are in the coffee shop, the camera repeatedly moves back and forth from one to the other for about three minutes.
* ParentsAsPeople: [[spoiler: Adam is a father himself whose wife left him, leading to his homelessness]].
* PetTheDog: The taxi driver gives Adam a twenty after they've had a chat.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: Adam dies on the street from an infection, having accomplished nothing besides helping Claire and Eve the previous day]].
* SliceOfLife: The film just examines Adam's day and how he aimlessly goes through life.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: Present when Adam has a run-in with a posh boy and earlier with a woman who appears middle-class and snobby.
* {{Streetwalker}}: Adam has an interaction with a prostitute called Claire, though he's surprised to find out that's what she does.
--> "But you're stunning looking!"
* SweetAndSourGrapes: [[spoiler: Adam is given twenty euro by a kindly taxi driver. He then encounters the prostitute Claire, who has just been robbed and was hoping to make enough money to treat her daughter for her birthday. Adam gives her the twenty. Immediately after, he notices a woman drop a bundle of money. When he gives it back to her, she treats him to a cup of coffee]].
* TroubledBackStoryFlashback: Adam occasionally gets flashbacks of when he was evicted from his house.
* UptownGirl: Eve clearly comes from privilege, with her designer wardrobe and posh accent. If she is especially wealthy, she'd be SpoiledSweet.
