A modern-day fable, Edentime deals with urgent, current social issues. It is the story of a flock of Canadian geese that tries to escape the pollutions and dangers of man by flying over the eastern sea to an idyllic island called "Eden." At last they have found a land of beauty, perfection and eternal happiness...or so it seems. Survival depends on preservation of both their environment and their flock. Ironically, the freedom they seek is endangered by their own follies and addictions, as they fall for the persuasion of a clever, treacherous dictator. In trying to save themselves, they have come perilously close to self-destruction. Benjamin, the wisest of the geese, finally realizes that they are trapped in an illusion that will be very difficult to escape.
