Little Otik

Little Otik is a film about a fairytale about a couple that can't have children, but they find a gruesome alternative to having a child.  This movie was made in the Czech Republic in the year 2000.  The couple, Karel (husband) and Bozena (wife), are unable to have a child due to Czech laws that restrict couples from having kids.  Bozena is especially distraught over this and literally goes mentally insane, while Karel tries to think of something that will help Bozena feel better.  Karel dug up a tree stump in the backyard of his apartment building and carved the stump to make it look like a baby.  After he gave it to Bozena, she treated the tree stump like it was a baby of her own.

Bozena started treating the tree stump like it was her own child, which drove Karel mad.  She also decided to name the carved tree stump "Otik".
