Loosely adapting Jack London's 1909 novel of the same name, this Italian-French historical romance drama following a love-struck sailor who pursues his dreams of becoming a writer. The journey he paves, however, puts him at odds with his new love.
"Initially a sailor, Martin Eden is inspired to educate, elevate, and remake himself as a writer following a chance encounter and romantic infatuation with the sophisticated, higher-class Elena (a luminous Jessica Cressy). As Martin develops and intensely pursues his new-found obsessions, both literary and social, he betrays those around him, denies his class consciousness, and rejects his humble origins, which gnaw at him from within."
