Seven Sisters – Watch Noomi Rapace and Willem Dafoe in the trailer for Tommy Wirkola’s new sci-fi thriller

In a not so distant future, where overpopulation and famine have forced governments to undertake a drastic One-Child Policy, seven identical sisters (all of them portrayed by Noomi Rapace) live a hide-and-seek existence pursued by the Child Allocation Bureau. The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close), enforces a strict family-planning agenda that the sisters outwit by taking turns assuming the identity of one person: Karen Settman. Taught by their grandfather (Willem Dafoe) who raised and named them – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – each can go outside once a week as their common identity, but are only free to be themselves in the prison of their own apartment. That is until, one day, Monday does not come home.

Directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow), the film stars Noomi Rapace, Glenn Close, Willem Dafoe, and Christian Rubeck.

It is due out in August and is thought to be on Netflix later in the year.
