It is a few years into an unnamed apocalypse. Bullets are the only currency, not gold and silver. So eat it, Ron Paul. There is a community with battles of supplicants called "Thunderland" with no apologies "Mad Max." Supplicants are chemically induced berserk fighters.
The film centers on Molly (Julia Batelaan) a loner and scavenger. She has flashbacks to where she was experimented upon and escaped from...? She looks like she was part of the Ester Blueburger fight club.
The basic plot is to capture Molly and make her into an unbeatable supplicant fighter.
The fight choreography was slow, awkward, and at times a laugh. Molly fights all the time and only once loses her glasses. Seriously, no one who wanted to kill her punched her in her glasses. She was not credible pinning a person down and giving them headbutts. I guess nerdy girls need pit bull role models too.
The ending leads us to believe there will be another one.
Guide: Brief nudity (Julia Batelaan) No sex. No swearing that I recall.

Plot summary
In a post apocalyptic world where bullets have become currency and medicine is rare, a clan of marauders uses a home brewed drug to turn innocent people into rabid beasts to have them fight each other in their fighting pits for their entertainment. When their leader discovers rumors of a girl with superpowers roaming the beach near their fort, he sends his best people out to capture her. Meanwhile, the girl, Molly, has discovered a young child, living alone in a cabin in the wasteland, waiting for the return of her parents, who are probably dead. Molly has to protect the child and fight of the marauders at the same time.

The girl from the stories
Was not going to watch this
Was not going to watch this believing that this was a copy of the 2012 Hunger Games Series which were a copy of previous 1999 Japanese Battle Royale Series that started this Child to teens having to fight for their lives Genre, as previously banned at many Nations like Battle Royale was banned at the U.S., Censors Worldwide objected to the very graphic murders committed by school children.
I also was not going to watch because of the butcher job and insertion of Political nonsense by Netherlander, Paul Verhoeven, into Heinlein's Patriotic "Starship Troopers".
This is a must see to gain a perspective as to what Northern Europeans think. Others that must be seen are 2015 TV Series Okkupert. The same actress, Julia Batelaan, 2012 Magistratus: Overtura and Kill Mode, and for other reasons the Japanese 1999 Battle Royale Series.
Sequel?
Hey! get your friends, I found a camera!
Very colorfully filmed on what may be a beach in South Africa (well, they're Dutch anyway). Acting like a college theatre department staging a play... with no real actors, amateurish everything - costumes, make-up - no script to speak of. Some of the most hysterically bad fight choreography I've ever seen. Done at full speed, but appears like slo-mo. The absolute unreality of it all had me transfixed. It fell right into the 'so bad it's good' genre, but it set up a sequel. Please, no. This one was enough fun for the decade.
