It tells the story a couple who begin to feel the pains of not being able to conceive. The husband, in an attempt to make his wife feel better, shapes up a wooden stump into something resembling a child. The wife nourishes it to life and that's when things begin to get really weird.
While the film is about 30 minutes too long, it does manage to throw in some brilliant moments that are both gut-wretchingly funny and disturbingly nightmarish. It's the type of film you just have to see for yourself to believe what you are actually watching.

Nice review. I saw this some years back. It stuck in my memory for obvious reasons.
Svankmajer is always worth watching.
Good times.
I saw it a few years ago too but decided to revisit Svankmajer's works. Well, the only three that I have. :-S
