In the Salinas Valley in and around World War I, Cal Trask feels he must compete against overwhelming odds with his brother for the love of their father. Cal is frustrated at every turn, from his reaction to the war, how to get ahead in business and in life, and how to relate to his estranged mother.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"East of Eden is a sweeping family drama spanning several years focused on rivalry, paternal love, and inherited sin. There is no indication in the provided plot summary or general film knowledge that the story is set during or significantly involves the Christmas season."
