Directed by Tommy Wirkola (“Dead Snow,” “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters“), and co-starring Willem Dafoe and Glenn Close, the film follows a man who choses to hide his seven daughters, despite a government’s one-child policy. His ruse initially works, but of course, something goes wrong. Here’s the synopsis:

2073. The Earth is overpopulated. The government decided to introduce a one-child policy, applied by the Birth Control Board, under the aegis of Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close). Confronted with the birth of seven twins, Terrence Settman (Willem Dafoe) decides to keep the existence of his 7 granddaughters secret. Confined to their apartment, each day they will have to share a unique identity outside, simulating the existence of one person: Karen Settman (Noomi Rapace).

Though the secret remains intact for years, everything collapses on the day that Monday mysteriously disappears…

“Seven Sisters” opens on August 23rd in France, but there’s no U.S. date at the moment. [via Dark Horizons]
