The End of the ClairvoyantSynopsis
Private clairvoyant Mathias Scibolini carries out his work with honesty and to the full satisfaction of his clients. When he and other clairvoyants are affiliated under one communal enterprise, he continues his work under his ordinary name Matěj Šibolín. The affiliation causes unsurmountable administrative work, the clairvoyant services become slapdash and the clients are not happy. After work hours, however, they are able to visit the clairvoyant's flat where everything is as it was before.
