What Happened to Monday (known in several territories as Seven Sisters) is a 2017 dystopian science-fiction action thriller film directed by Tommy Wirkola and written by Max Botkin and Kerry Williamson. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Glenn Close and Willem Dafoe.

In the near future, overpopulation has resulted in a strict one-child policy, enforced by the European Federation's Child Allocation Bureau. Any illegal children uncovered by the C.A.B. are taken and put into cryosleep indefinitely.

Terrence Settman's daughter dies while giving birth to identical septuplets. Unwilling to lose his granddaughters as well, he hides their existence from C.A.B. by pretending they're all one person. Each sister is named after a day of the week and can only leave the house on their respective day, during which they must live perfectly synchronous lives as "Karen Settman."

One night, Monday fails to return home after work. The next day, Tuesday retraces her steps and discovers Monday got the promotion they were up for and met their co-worker Jerry at a bar. Before she can investigate further, C.A.B. agents detain her.
