This science fiction film reveals a dysfunctional authoritarian society that was established to limit overpopulation and avoid famine, by demanding citizens to have only one child. The year is 2073, and the one child policy was so inflexible that there was a police that constantly checked identities and when siblings were found, they were captured and “frozen” until a day when the earth will have more resources. However, when a grandfather Terrence (Willem Dafoe) refused to give up on the identical septuplets (all played by Noomi Rapace), he teaches them to hide and names them each with a day of the week. He also teaches them to go out only one the day of the week, the day corresponding to their name to avoid rising suspicion. They all comply and watch what each other does during the day. All sisters use the same name and identity, Karen Settman, the name of their deceased mother. It is unthinkable, when their grandfather is forced to cut one of the finger tips each one of the girls, when Monday goes out to skateboard and falls and loses a phalange. Years later, one day Monday disappears and does not return home. The sisters then decide to send Tuesday to try to find out what happened. Tuesday is captured by the repressive policy Bureau, who takes out one her eyes, which is used to break in into the family’s apartment. The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close) apparently was aware of the seven sisters. The sisters continue to make difficult decisions to try to survive, but at the end, only Thursday survives with the help of Adrien who is looking for Monday. Sadly, Thursday realizes that Monday has made a deal with Cayman and turned on all the sisters in an effort to survive alone when she realizes she is pregnant. Cayman is hiding that the children are incinerated instead of being frozen and Adrien and Thursday reveal her diabolic nature. The government has mislead everyone to believe that the society was saving those children when in reality it was killing them. The movie is very disturbing but it brings awareness of the risk of autocracy in societies that do not have balances within their governments.
