Teen-aged American Daisy (Ronan) is neurotic, hostile, unhappy, and sent by her newly re-married father to step-cousins in England. She’s vegan, germ-phobic and appalled by her wild, unsupervised, rural step-cousins, from the pesky Piper (Bird) to the fit Eddie (MacKay). Their mother (Chancellor) is a high-ranking peace negotiator who is never home because war is about to break out.
War breaks out. The kids are separated
and the rest of the film is escape and survival. It’s a good film in which young
Ronan’s acting prowess is already evident.
