Adam (24) moves from sleepy Zeeland to noise Amsterdam, where he will be working at the Municipal Funeral Service department. One day, he accidentally bumps into his 29-year-old neighbour Eva, known as an unconventional, urban young woman who struggles with relationships, her family and herself. Adam falls head over heels in love with Eva and she with him.
Over the course of twenty-four episodes we are witness tot the development of the relationship between Adam and Eva and see how it is continually influenced and affected by dozens of other stories set in the city. Amsterdam Paradise (A’DAM – E.V.A.) is a shimmering mosaic narrative of the city, life and love.
