This film made me think of Lord of the Flies set in post Mad Max's world. It starts out with a young boy lost in his imagination that stumbled upon a lady and her dog. They bond & their blossoming adult-Child relationship gives it heart & carries the film. It is not action packed so don't want it if that want you expect or want from a film. They meet some other lost boys/children & then finally meet a man that may responsible for the disappearance of her daughter...
It is kind of the reverse lord of the flies in that the boy meets an adult from the beginning and then the kids towards the end. The director captures the authenticity of a mother and adopted son's relationship & the kids that learn to defend themselves.
The ending is bitter sweet but it leaves the viewer with some hope for the future.
