If Monty Python produced "The Twilight Zone" and Franz Kafka was the head writer, and you watched a ten-hour cable marathon while still hung over from a television convention-your subsequent nightmares would be a lot like ACCUMULATOR 1. Mild-mannered surveyor Olda isn't just tired, he's exhausted, sapped, drained, and nearly sucked dry. A mysterious healer trains Olda how to gather and channel enough life-force to keep him on his feet, but the attacks continue. It seems that somewhere, just an on-off swithch away from reality, is a madhouse phantom zone where Olda's hungry doppelganger lives by absorbing the energy of his human counterpart. And he's not the only one...To find our why our hero must wield an arsenal of TV remotes and keep a cartload of lumber handy for mortal combat with the ravenous tentacles of the nether-dimension, tune your mind to director Jan Sverak's frequency fo absurdist science fiction spectacle. You will never view chronic fatigue syndrome (or going to the dentist) the same way again.
