"Children of Men" is set in the year 2027 in a bombed-out London that has no future: Women have been infertile for 18 years. The only hope is to bring a a child into the world, which becomes the mission of the characters played by Julianne Moore and Clive Owens.
At the Cinema Society and GQ screening Tuesday at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, no children were present. But guests found it hard to get their minds off them.
"I can't wait to be a father, and after seeing this film, I better hurry up," the actor Josh Hartnett said during the party at the SoHo Grand's penthouse after the screening.
