Film description:

A provocatively moralizing grotesque about two girls who decided to be spoiled because the world around them is like that. A sophisticatedly unusual form of narration, caustic irony and ideas abounding in images that many moralists considered scandalous characterizes Věra Chytilová’s second feature film. Daisies in their time became subject to parliamentary questions, later in the time of normalization a deterrent example of decadent creation and a carefully guarded safe title. Today, this experimental film is one of the Czech film classics, to which new generations of viewers around the world are returning.
