Pelisky

Jan Hrebejk's 1999 Czech film cannot be translated accurately.  Officially it is translated as 'Cosy Dens'.  I understand it as 'the womb', or a safe nurturing, comforting place. Perhaps hibernation den.

It is a curious title for a story about the interaction between two families, with very different orientations on life in Prague.

Family Tree.
