| Summary |
In this adaptation of a Czech legend about an infertile couple, a husband presents a tree stump that physically resembles a baby to console his wife. When she treats it like a real baby, it comes to life and acquires a monstrous appetite that can't be met with baby formula. A surrealist fable laced with wicked humour |
