Only he doesn’t drown after floating for twelve hours and ten kilometers in the water. Then something unexpected happens that rocks the nixes’ world: Ivan Laušman (Jiří Langmajer, The Labyrinth), a wealthy lobbyist under investigation by the police for fraud, corruption, and related white-collar crimes, decides to off himself by driving straight into Prague’s Vltava River. The Invisibles (Neviditelní): Luděk Sobota (center) as Eduard Baretti - Photo courtesy of Walter Presents Hubert also maintains that the nixes should remain a secret society, whereas Eduard “Eda” Baretti (Ludek Sobota, Mazalové), a old, roguish, left-leaning aqua-man, believes the nixes should come out of the (water) closet. He’s a candidate for the chairmanship of the Water Alliance, a position left vacant when the former chairman was dried to his death in a sauna. Robert’s parents, businessman Hubert Vydra (Jiří Bartoška, The Life and Time of Judge A.K.) and his wife Nora Vydrová (Ivana Chýlková, Kriminálka Andel), insist on this, as they believe it will give Hubert the edge in the upcoming election. So the pressure is on Robert Vydra (Kryštof Hádek, The Lens) to meet and marry a girl with 100% aqua-genes, so they can have pure-blooded aqua-babies. Today the Aquarians are safe from persecution, but they face a different existential crisis: dwindling numbers of pure-blood nixes, owing to mixed marriages with landlubbers. (Which they did, only not in the way they intended.)

The proud parents then bring their bundle of joy in the now-lidded bucket to meet his siblings by throwing the baby out with the (non-bath) water into the river.Īll of this is normal for these characters, as they belong to the race of “nixes” or Aquarians - humanoids born with a gene that allows them to breathe underwater.
