Play :: Based on a film by Jan Svankmajer. A couple, desperate but unable to start a family, develop an intense relationship with a tree stump carved to look like a baby. Believing it to be real, gradually their obsession brings the lump of wood to life. As the fixation grows, so dies the 'baby' along with its monstrous appetite. Not content with baby food, it eats the family cat and then the postman. Things get stranger when the social worker arrives to see what's going on.
