Rusalka is set in a fantastical world that resembles today's modern world, with the difference being that it is still inhabited by supernatural beings. Specifically, the last two of these creatures still living hidden among people are the nymph Anna and the water goblin Viktor. However, Anna is beginning to feel stifled by her centuries-long life with Viktor. Even though humans are her prey, she is fascinated by their feelings and passions. Can Anna find the love she wishes of, or is it just an unattainable dream? Let Anna dance you into a world of hidden souls in cups, fishes in bathtubs and a mysterious nightclub hidden in the basement of a Prague apartment building.
