This film is amazingly good. Really well done.
Based in the UK in a not-so-far-away future, when, for unknown reasons (pollution? drugs? genetics?), the human race has become infertile and is bound to disappear.
Military law prevails in the country. All other nations have fallen into anarchy.
A disillusioned bureaucrat is forced into an underground resistance movement to protect a young and heavily pregnant woman.
Spoiler-warning:
This film is scary and beautiful. The most poignant and heartbreaking moment was the scene when Kee has just given birth and tries to escape a building being bombarded by tanks and attacked by soldiers armed with automatic weapons. Kee walks down the hall and all these people cannot believe their eyes when they see the new-born baby. Then suddenly the soundtrack stops: and in a dramatic silence, she walks down a staircase crowded by the soldiers, who, when they see her, shout 'CEASEFIRE'.
There are many things in this film providing food for thought. I really recommend it.
