where did the baby come from?


In the second to last scene of the film, we see the wife stab the husband in the belly rather fiercely.
IN the last scene, we see our protagonist and his wife sitting in the garden with a baby carriage.
I suspect he (and not she) is the mother of the baby. He kept saying how he wanted her inside him. All the visions of internal blood, and eventually a fetus seemed ambiguous.
He is always sick...fainting, vomiting, etc, with an unknown but "serious" health issue.
At one point, she even asks him if he is pregnant.
Am I missing something here?

I saw this on R&A (quite big film festival in Helsinki) on last saturday.

I was wondering that maybe parts of the movie were a dream or somekind of imagined stuff (fantasy?)? The kid in the end was strange but one idea might be that maybe it imagion of the 'beast' that all is well and things are ok. It seems that he wanted perfect relationship with normal things :).

Strange film. I always hate when a colleague in work says that she doesn't know if the lunch in the cafeteria is good or bad. I get the same thing with this film. Ok.. After few days I do thing that the film was quite cool. Nicolas Bro was so good in his part.
