A witty and unconventional satirical fairytale that explains that Hastrman ("a water sprite") is actually a German ribbon seller who fancies one Czech girl. And we learn the origin of the name "Hastrman". When the water sprite tries to woo the girl, he asks her in German if she has a man: „Hast du Mann?" (Zlín Film Festival)
