In order to keep their identities secret, the technologically inclined Defoe creates seven bracelets under the same identity of Karen Settman, the children’s mother’s name. To do so, he raises the children secretly in his apartment, an illegal act he manages to keep concealed from the government. After losing his daughter to childbirth, he wants his daughter’s legacy to continue on. Not long into the movie, we are introduced to the grandfather, William Dafoe, of seven children. The narrator then intones, “The solution is now feeding the problem.” However, as a result of genetic modifications gone wrong, humans become prone to multiple births or genetic defects. In the film, this lack of food spurs European countries to make rash decisions, which leads them to embrace artificially grown food.
“Every four days, there’s a million more people on the planet.” “In the last 50 years, we’ve doubled our population, tripled the amount of food and water we use and we have quadrupled the use of fossil fuels,” the film begins. With so many people to feed, food slowly grows scarce. The film begins by reminding viewers of the massive population boom that has taken place in the last century, before then jumping to 2073, where the world’s population has doubled. In Netflix’s new film “What Happened to Monday,” writers Max Botkin and Kerry Williamson collaborated with director Tommy Wirkola, who worked on “Dead Snow,” to depict what they believe might happen to the Earth if nothing is done to reverse climate change.
