Joachim, Put It in the Machine

Frantisek Koudelka, a sincere young man from the provinces, arrives in Prague for work. Before his departure, he purchases a computer-generated horoscope with a biorhythm chart, marking treacherous, precarious, unsuccessful, and even critical days, with only a handful of favorable ones. This clumsy, perpetually unlucky fellow finally has a guide for life. He begins to consult the machine's predictions for every move, from conversations with his boss to meeting women. His existence becomes an absurd dance between attempting to outwit fate on 'critical' days and grasping at fleeting luck during rare 'successful' periods.
