Terrence reminds them of the importance of going out only one at a time, and that what happens to one of them must happen to all of them.
The sisters develop a system of wigs and makeup to cover any identifying features. To safeguard their secret, Terrence ensures they share information at a meeting on a daily basis and replicates any accident that affects one of the sisters' physical appearance. Their grandfather Terrence names them after the days of the week and trains them to pose as a single individual named after their mother.
Karen Settman dies when she gives birth to identical stippled sisters. When multiple children are born to one mother, all but the eldest are put into cryosleep.
It’s nothing at the level of Maslany’s work on Orphan Black, but it’s a supreme example of an actor elevating the material she’s been given.In 2073, overpopulation causes a worldwide crisis, resulting in a strict one-child policy enforced by the Child Allocation Bureau. But Rapace is able to tease out the differences between them with mannerisms, small looks, and tiny flinches. One is “the uptight sister” another “the sexy sister” yet another, the “angry rebel sister.” They’re so thin, they’re not even archetypes - they’re more like cartoon caricatures, set against a live-action backdrop. Aside from costume changes and hairstyles, the script from Max Botkin and Kerry Williamson gives Rapace very little to actually work with. (One could argue that it is still needlessly complex - one crisis, leading to one fix, which leads to another crisis, which is essentially still the original crisis - but the film tucks it all out of the way efficiently enough.) Where the movie starts having fun is when it comes to Rapace’s performances, and early on she does a strong job of creating the different sisters. It’s a long-winded set-up, and thankfully What Happened to Monday manages to get most of the exposition out of the way with an early burst of voice-over.
