Vague brushstrokes of a post 9/11 anti-immigrant society with a non-existent birthrate, except for a would-be madonna, the black ur mother, all over again....gratuitously barren of everything except a foetus -- a girl.
Sometimes, when you do a plot that's set in the future, it is less obvious that you are building a house of cliches. No reason given for the drop in fertility....justs heavy-handed vacuous allegory from start to finish.
