The Torchbearer

In this sci-fi dystopian film set in a world where all sources of light, natural and artificial no longer exist, a group of men (some have sons) unexpectedly set up camp at a well-known location. One situation happens when a mysterious and beautiful woman appears before them holding what she describes as a "torch.". Her presence alone gives the people that she becomes associated with mixed feelings. Some are shocked by her survival skills with some viewing her as a threat because of different reasons. In fact in one scene, an adolescent boy watches her because he's never seen a woman in his life.
