[2] 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.
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.
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.
Jitka visits him, complaining about Slezak and asking for forgiveness, but he rejects her and goes to meet Anna at the opera to see Nabucco.
During a power cut, Olda reads Anna's daughter a fairy tale about a prince who defeated a witch by flooding her with life force from several people.
He formulates a similar plan to destroy the television "mirror world", by oversaturating a TV set with energy from the charged boards.
It flows towards the television, but at the last moment Olda abandons his plan, realizing that he is standing in the path of the energy stolen from people.
