Films about the future always attract the attention of the viewer, especially if the plot is connected with social injustice in relation to the inhabitants of the planet. The problem of overpopulation recently worries almost every second person on Earth. The film “The Secret of 7 Sisters” touches on this topic. The actors tried to show the tragedy of one family, which dared to go against the system. Who played the main roles in this film and what is this film about?
Plot
The demographic crisis has forced state authorities to resort to brutal birth control measures. From now on, each family cannot have more than one child. Women who are unlucky to get pregnant outside of marriage should get rid of the fetus. If at the time of adoption of the law a woman was in position and gave birth to two or more babies, they were selected and immersed in a cryoson. In this state, they should have been until the moment the entire situation in the world has stabilized.
Terrence Settman is horrified by the changes taking place in the world. His daughter has just given birth to seven girls, and he has no desire to give six. Moreover, the mother herself died during childbirth. He makes a real bunker out of his apartment and decides to hide the presence of seven granddaughters. Until the issue of overpopulation is resolved. He developed a whole scheme - girls will take turns going to school, university and work under the same name. And in order not to get confused, each of them will bear a name in honor of the day of the week. The girls adhered to this order even after the death of their grandfather.
They worked in a bank, where they were listed under the name Karen Settman. They were all different and had their own habits and manners. The little world began to crumble when it suddenly did not return from work Monday. The girls waited one day, but the sister never came. Then they decided to scout the situation, and Thursday went to the bank. There she is seized by people from the Children's Distribution Bureau. The head of the organization, Nicolette already knows about the sisters and sends his employees to their house. The girls manage to fight back, but they lose Sunday.
Gradually, three more sisters die one after another. Thursday managed with the help of a friend to find Monday and learn about her betrayal. She decided that only she has the right to a free life, because she was born first. After the fight, Thursday managed to bring the head of the Bureau to fresh water and kill the vile sister. She saved Tuesday from imprisonment, and they began a new free life. People learned that there was no cryos - they just killed the children. The law was repealed, and everything returned to normal.
The Secret of 7 Sisters movie: actors and roles
Despite the conflicting reviews of film critics, the picture was liked by a simple viewer. An interesting plot and an urgent problem did their job - the film really intrigued even at the stage of creation all lovers to look into the future.
Numi Rapas and her seven faces
The Swedish actress showed a real level of her skill, getting used to the image of 7 different girls. Her talent could be judged after the release of a series of sensational films about a girl with a dragon tattoo. The real name of the actress is Hilda Numi Noren. Her last name translated from Swedish means "bird of prey." The girl always did not like her. Therefore, she came up with a pseudonym, by which she became known to the whole world. Hilda started acting in films and soap operas quite early on. But they were known only in the country.
For the filming of the movie “The Secret of 7 Sisters”, the actors went to Romania. Numi had the hardest time - an endless change of makeup and clothes for 94 shooting days can drive anyone crazy. The girl performed all the tricks herself - the previous experience helped.
Sterwell is back in business
Glenn Close in the Russian audience is steadily associated with the film "101 Dalmatians." Not the most significant role of the actress, but, undoubtedly, the most memorable. So it already coincided that in this picture she got the role of the villain. Among all the actors of "7 Sisters" she was the most eminent and titled. Even William Defoe, who happened to play the girls' grandfather, does not have such an extensive filmography.
In addition, the actress sings well and already has the experience of a screenwriter. The role of the ruthless Nicolette Cayman was another success for the movie star. The cruel and heartless head of the corporation walked over the corpses of children in order to get the desired post. The actress so well managed to get used to the role of the villain that after her death there are no regrets in the souls of the viewer.
