Said to be “set in a world destroyed by climate change,” the story concerns a faction of society that’s “created a parallel world for itself. Life is controlled and optimised, and the desire to have children is also no longer left to chance. The lives of a successful young couple are therefore put under close scrutiny by a female assessor over the course of seven days.”
