In this movie, TV sets are full of life. If a person is in TV (e.g. because it was filmed on the street) it has a double that's right in the TV set. This double needs energy from the true character to survive. Each time, the real human watches TV, his Double will pull life energy from him. So there's a mysterious Death-serial. Many persons die in front of their TV set and nobody knows why. Olda, the main character, is one of the persons, that get more and more weak. He is near death, till Fisarek, the natural healer appears. He teaches Olda how he can resist this magic force and how he can fight it.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Jan Svěrák constructs an absurdist parable blending domestic realism with magical realism, relying on the metaphor of television consumption as energetic parasitism. The film explores a unique mythology where the media environment becomes a literal vampire.

Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a peculiar mix of social satire, dark comedy, and philosophical fantasy. What lingers after viewing is a persistent sense that every screen is a potential trap. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jan Svěrák

Best Watched

Watch in the evening with a light sense of irony, as an allegory for media poisoning.
