- Synopsis:
- Set in Britain at an unspecified point in the near-future, 'Memoirs of a Survivor' tells the story of 'D' (Julie Christie), a housewife trying to carry on after a cataclysmic war that has left society in a state of collapse. Rubbish is piled high in the streets among near-derelict buildings covered with graffiti; the electricity supply is variable, and water is now collected from a van. 'D' spends her time examining her relations with authority, with the marauding gangs of brutalised children who roam the streets, and with Emily (Leonie Mellinger), the traumatised, orphaned teenager who is delivered into her care.
