In her ward, a young nurse, Jenka, becomes close to the hospitalized wife of the director of the local steel company, Pšeničky, who is admired by the local women. Mrs. Pšeničková recovers, but continues to suffer from anxiety and the persistent idea that she is dying. Jenka therefore takes on the responsibility of home care and helps her overcome the crisis with her simple, human approach. Her patient becomes emotionally attached to her, and Mr. Pšenička also finds a close person in Jenka and tries to win her over. The selfless nurse penetrates deeper into their complicated relationship and, under increasing pressure from both sides, experiences her first truly bitter life experience.
