The programmer’s eye

In a future devastated by war and pandemic, and where mankind has become sterile, the youngest human being dies while a woman proves to be pregnant, the first one for 18 years. Théo, an office worker, is charged with the protection of the latter. Alfonso Cuaron composes a world of science-fiction which unfortunately remains plausible 12 years after the film release. He packs it into a virtuoso staging full of sad beauty and intoxicating action.
