Kukavice iz Midwicha

Midwich is a sleepy town where nothing much happens, until one evening when everyone falls suddenly unconscious. For twelve hours no one can get into, or see into, the Blackout Zone. Then just as suddenly, everything returns to normal, except something truly inexplicable has happened: every woman of child-bearing age is pregnant. The spawn of these pregnancies are the Midwich Cuckoos, a group of unusual “children” that change the community forever. This contemporary retelling of John Wyndham’s famous novel adapted by David Farr is a thrilling, strange and at times horrifying journey into parenthood that lays bare any parent’s worst fear: that the thing most precious to us – a child – might desire our destruction..
