How I Live Now

England    Saoirse Ronan

A troubled American teen gets shipped to relatives in England, soon after she arrives there's a nuclear explosion...which ruins everything. Especially her burgeoning romance with her cousin Eddy.

The kids get taken away. The bulk of the film is the two girls making their way back home, fighting capture, nature and predatory men. Engaging, if a bit simplistic. I heard this was taken from a YA novel...which seems about right. A little too dumbed down and obvious but a strong story nonetheless.
