Plots(1)

A legendary comedy about the last of the Czech water sprites and an unyielding housing administrative clerk. The water sprites need wet premises for survival but the situation is soon to change as one of them receives a new dry flat as a reward. But the sprites decide to avert the situation by (not)liquidating Dr. Mráček, the lawyer. A number of special effects was created by the DoP Vladimír Novotný who managed to create interesting effects without further processing and post-production. It is also the first film that Jiří Maxa, whom we honour in our Tribute to Jiří Maxa, worked on. (Ostrava Kamera Oko)
