Man faces possible extinction because mankind has lost the ability to procreate and the world shudders. Now mankind has become sterile, in an atmosphere of chaos and totalitarian repression commotionkills youngest human on the planet which was an Argentine 18. According to an announcement informs us, only "Great Britain endures in a world collapsed.

Hence the large influx of foreign refugees, which the government tries to control through measures fascists. When chaos erupts Theo, a disillusioned ex-radical activist turned bureaucrat more than anything, was recruited by Julian to be theprotector of the most searched person on earth which was the last pregnant woman in the world.

This film is the result of globalization, the Mexican director rolls a science fiction film in England, based on an idea from a novel by PD James.
