Surgeon Anna Shirokova is appointed deputy chief physician for medical affairs at a regional hospital—a step that opens up not only new professional horizons for her, but also a series of difficult trials. The staff greets the newly appointed medical director with open hostility. The head of the surgical department, Rodion Turaev, takes an especially uncompromising stance: he had long counted on this position and now sees Anna’s appointment as a personal insult. Tension immediately arises between them, escalating into an open confrontation. At the same time, a true drama unfolds in Anna’s personal life. After learning of her husband’s infidelity, she makes the courageous decision to file for divorce. She must now raise two children on her own. But her ex-husband has no intention of backing down: he resorts to cruel manipulation, trying to turn their younger daughter against Anna, and even threatens to take the child away through the courts.
