Radiation exposure, scientific ambition, and romantic rivalries intersect as the characters confront the physical risks of their work and the personal consequences of their choices.

For many years, Sasha Lvova has been waiting for the return of her lover, pilot Aleksei Astakhov, refusing to believe in his death at the front. And he really returns to her and his son after captivity, but this is a completely different person, rejected by society, expelled from the profession.

Sympathy arises between the heroes, which is also reinforced by the coincidence of the so-called “production interests”.

After release from jail Andrey tries to start a new honest life but not everything is going as planned.

Making another operation, Professor Krymov did not even guess what place this patient would occupy in his life. After some time, they will meet by chance in Yalta and realize that they are very necessary to each other. Only their attitude to love is completely different ...
