Overview:

An unfinished film about a reckless water sprite and his jealous wife. Mum the water sprite rocks the little water sprites in a pond while the philandering dad water sprite enjoys himself with undines on the shore, playing love songs to a willow-tree fairy on his mandolin. The mum catches her husband doing this and forces him to return to the pond, back to his family, with slaps on his head. The film was not finished and submitted for censorship. The surviving negative did not contain any opening titles. The attribution of the title is only ex post and the year of production was estimated.
