Synopsis "Wolf Country"

London, 2050. The socio-economic crisis of recent decades is over and consumerism is thriving. Ownership of land outside the city is the preserve of a tiny elite, and the rest of the population must spend to earn a Right to Reside. Ageing has been abolished thanks to a radical new approach, replacing retirement with blissful euthanasia at a Dignitorium. When architect Philip goes missing, his wife Alice risks losing her home and her status, and begins to question the society in which she was raised. Her search for him uncovers some horrifying truths about the fate of her own family and the reality behind the new social order. Wolf Country is a powerful dystopian vision in the spirit of Black Mirror and Never Let Me Go. It must have begun when my apple tree flourished and Sofia's withered and died. Perhaps that was when Sofia first had an inkling that she didn't belong. Dad used to say war begins at home, in the family. It was not his own idea; he must have read it somewhere and felt obliged to pass the wisdom on to his daughters. It took me twenty years to grasp its meaning, the realisation coming only yesterday after I put the phone down, an entirely changed person from the one who picked it up a minute earlier. I wonder what Dad would say now, if he saw me saw us like this, preparing for the final battle, a battle too painful and far too unequal to be fought in the sanctuary of the family.
