They will essentially take turns being Karen Settman, who eventually becomes a powerful businesswoman, but is really seven sisters working a very elaborate “Parent Trap.” Named after days of the week, Monday, Tuesday, etc. When Terrence Settman ( Willem Dafoe) has septuplet grandchildren, their mother dying in childbirth, he knows he’s in serious trouble, but he crafts a masterful scam to keep his granddaughters alive. The woman in charge of this program, Nicolette Cayman ( Glenn Close), is the kind of ruthless leader who promises a better future while stripping families of their offspring. If a family has more than one child, the extra child will be taken by the government and cryogenically frozen until a time when we have colonized another planet or found a way to create more natural resources. It’s resulted in a shocking but practical government decree: families can only have one child.
In a future not that dissimilar from the one imagined in “ Children of Men,” human beings have exhausted our planet’s resources.
