Set in a future world plagued by overpopulation and environmental collapse, the film imagines a regime in which reproduction has been banned for a generation. Against this background, a young couple defies the law in order to have a child, bringing private emotion and human instinct into direct conflict with state control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003eDirected by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003eMichael Campus\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film stars \u003cstrong data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003eGeraldine Chaplin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003eOliver Reed\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003eDon Gordon\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eDiane Cilento\u003c\/strong\u003e.
