Synopsis

Zdena, a shop assistant in a small chemist's, is busy with the shop inventory and painstakingly counts the numbers of the items in store. In the midst of the work, she is taken by surprise by her husband whom she wants to divorce. The husband helps her to count the stock and, during their discussion, tries to argue against all her reasons for the divorce. The woman, however, does not let him change her decision. The man breaks some shampoo bottles in fury and leaves.
