Maxim Skorobogatov, a Ministry of Health official and a handsome man from the capital, is going on a business trip to the provincial town of Zoryansk on behalf of the minister to disband a dilapidated local hospital, which is to be replaced by a modern medical center.

Olga desperately knocks out a quota for her son for a rare and expensive operation, she has nothing to do with the capital's bonvian, as she initially perceives Maxim. But the more Maxim is immersed in the problems of people and hospitals, the more clearly Olga understands that she likes him.

And when Maksym is convinced that the mayor is really darkening and pursuing his goals, closing hospitals, when he becomes a real threat to local corrupt officials, then his quiet, regular business trip will end ...
