After his graduation ceremony, the young doctor Mirek Vodák would gladly stay in Prague with his fiancee Eva. His attempts to get higher officials to intervene are to no avail and he has to go to Lužany near Sušice to take the place of the local doctor Mrázek who is retiring. Mrázek has heart problems but he is self-sacrificing and cares for his patients very much. He is Mirek's big supporter and introduces him to the people. The young doctor feels very lonely and only gradually wins the trust of the local people. He becomes close with the young woman Olga, who works in the post-office and whose husband, a teacher, is very busy with his work and many other duties. Eva, who is a successful professional swimmer, refuses to go to the village with Mirek. Her visit to Lužany doesn't go well. Eva isn't pleased with the fact that Mirek isn't trying to get back to Prague. They have a fight and she goes home. Mrázek is taken to the hospital after a serious heart attack and Mirek must handle all the duties alone. In a dramatic situation, he saves the life of a young tractor driver shocked by an electric current. He spends New Year's Eve in Prague with Eva and refuses a favoured position as a doctor in Kladno. He goes back to Lužany and to the people whom he grew fond of and whom he wants to help. He hopes that Eva will understand and join him one day.
The film was distributed to Czech cinemas along with the film National Artist Zdeněk Štěpánek (1960) by Otakar Vávra.
