Bizarra, inteligente y desfachatada, narra la historia de Eugene, retraído esposo que se debate entre la realidad y un mundo onírico construido en torno a la hermosa Eugenia. Su relación onírica progresará, hasta que ella queda embarazada. Temeroso de que un día dejará de soñar con ella, Eugene consulta a una psicoanalista que tiene retratos animados de Freud y Jung en su pared. Ella identifica a Eugenia con el alma de su paciente, su lado femenino, y se horroriza al pensar que el alma de su paciente se ha embarazado.La historia se desenvuelve como una novela policiaca intelectual y divertida. La revelación final es sorprendente. Las técnicas de animación son una llave poderosa para llegar a este descubrimiento. (Interior XIII)

Švankmajer's work has played a significant role in shaping my cinematic taste, and to this day I have a great fondness for it. Perhaps no other director has received as many five-star ratings and praise in reviews from me. I considered his feature films to be one of the few exceptions in the dullness and stagnation of Czech productions. This is the first case in his long filmography where I shrug my shoulders and say that the chosen form is disturbing to me and the result is simply boring in some passages. I have never before found myself looking at my watch during a Švankmajer film. I usually saw his feature films in movie theaters, and the only reason that didn't happen with this one was because it was ignored by movie theaters in southern Bohemia. The Czech master of animation can actually be glad to have a large group of loyal fans who, in this case, I believe have supported him somewhat. This is a tired film where even the visual aspects do not hide the meager budget. Overall impression: 55%.

They may not be like his other films, but even the later Švankmajer films stand out above anything that is commonly produced in the Czech Republic. Flat animation, surrealism, the good old Sigmund Freud, montages based on Max Ernst and Klára Issová as the perfect anima. I'm satisfied with it. Only next time it will need more actors and not just models.
