There's a new employee at the porcelain warehouse, shy 16-year old Maruska. The longtime head woman, Světla, threatens to go work somewhere else, because she's had enough. The management of the warehouse immediately finds a new leader, Jarolím, who is willing to take over immediately and without checking things first. But Světla is stubborn and insists that they take inventory. The chairman of the inventory committee is Mr. Rybička, a pedant who turns 1the handover inventory into a nightmare that engages all of the workers and substantially disrupts the work regime and the personal lives of everyone: workers, management, and the other committee members. In this tense atmosphere, it comes out that Světla and Jarolím know each other from the past and that they have much more in common than they are willing to admit. (Zlín Film Festival)

This film can be summed up in one sentence as a simple naive comedy that is not worth revisiting. However, it is also a film that perfectly characterizes the normalization era of the 70s. It represents a retreat from socially more important issues and intellectual challenges back to the working class. It deals with inventory in a warehouse and the romantic problems of young warehouse workers. It is important to realize that this matter, which the directors from the studio did not want to waste time on, was directed by Juraj Herz so as to redeem himself for the sins of his previous decade's work. Yes, the same Herz who directed The Cremator. However, this turns Girls from the Crockery Shop into a visible symbol of the decline of Czechoslovak cinema in those times. Today, the film is only bearable as a reminder of the acting of those involved, especially Míla Myslíková, but also others. Overall impression: 35%.
