Pohádka o lidské duši 1986

Directed by Libuše Koutná

In many fairy tales, a person has fallen in love with a supernatural being, but in few is the love story told as masterfully as in Mahen's about a student and a beautiful mermaid. The student took on a difficult task when he wanted to awaken the human soul in the shy forest dancer, so that she would love him as deeply and fervently as he loved her. He suffered a lot for his love for the mermaid, but nevertheless persevered in her and finally found his happiness.
