How I Live Now

Dir of Last King of Scotland, State of Play, Touching the Void

An American girl on holiday in the English countryside with her family finds herself in hiding and fighting for her survival as war breaks out.

Daisy, a teenaged New Yorker, is sent to England one summer to stay with cousins she has never met. Initially resentful, she soon finds herself living in a dreamy, pastoral idyll as she falls madly in love. But this perfect summer is blown apart by the sudden outbreak of a war. The family is separated and Daisy is forced to embark on a terrifying journey to be reunited with the boy she loves.
