Mr. Wassermann isnยt very nice in the Czech comedic film Jak Utopit Dr. Mracka. Heยs using his wifeยs family, a group of water sprites, as servants. In order to escape the situation, the sprites want to return to their old house near the river. Unfortunately, itยs about to be demolished. How can they stop the demolition? Well, one way is to drown Dr. Mracek, the man behind the demolition. Ah, okay. (Those water sprites sure are tricky little buggers, arenยt they?) 7 p.m. Czech Heritage Society of Texas Library and Archives, 4117 Willowbend.
