Orphan

In this episode, we dive into the chilling “Kurim case,” the twisted true tale that inspired Jaume Collet-Serra’s Orphan(2009). After dissecting the movie, which includes a clever nod to Leonardo DiCaprio and Titanic (1997), we compare it to the life of Barbora Skrlova, a woman in her 30s who posed as two 13-year-old children, infiltrated unsuspecting families, and participated in one of the worst child abuse cases in Czechia’s history.
