Accumulator 1 () is a 1994 film directed by Jan Svěrák. The film won the Grand Prize at the 7th Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February 1996. It won the audience award at the Tromsø International Film Festival in 1996. Plot Young surveyor Olda (Petr Forman) is courting a girl, Jitka (Tereza Pergnerová), but his colleague Slezák (Bolek Polívka) coaxes her into bed at his home. The morally exhausted Olda does not stop them, and watches TV all night, where he appeared that day in an absurd interview. He loses consciousness for three days and ends up in a hospital room with the ageing Mikulík (Jiří Kodet). That night, mysterious healer Fišarek (Zdeněk Svěrák) appears to help them, returning lost energy to Olda. Fišarek shows him how to take energy from trees, works of art and natural phenomena. When Mikulik dies, they examine his body and realize that he died watching TV, having lost all his energy. They meet his daughter Anna (Edita Brychta). Fišarek continues healing experiments on Olda with a company of mediums. On TV, they see an old teacher. The action moves into the television universe, inhabited by doppelgangers of people who have previously been on TV, who live a hedonistic party lifestyle, shamelessly feeding on energy from their real counterparts. Olda finds Anna in a phone book and takes her on a date. In a cafe, drunken Slezak comes up to them, wanting to take Anna away as well, but she rejects him. Arriving at Anna's house, the couple confess their feelings for each other and go to the bedroom to make love. However, Olda accidentally turns on the TV, which again steals his energy. When he arrives to tell Fišarek, he meets the teacher from the TV show, who has experienced the same thing and reached the same conclusion. The teacher flees to a remote village without a television, while Olda stays in Prague to be close to Anna. Even in the middle of nowhere, the teacher sees a TV, and again turns to Fišarek for help. Olda proposes marriage to Anna, but she reveals that she has a daughter. She tells him to meet her at the opera the next day. In the meantime, he buys some remote controls as protection against TV sets. Jitka visits him, complaining about Slezak and asking for forgiveness, but he rejects her and goes to meet Anna
