Freshman Slava Kostylev fails his first session at medical school. The result was expulsion and a summons from the military registration and enlistment office. Having served in a “hot spot”, he becomes a completely different person. Slava does not find understanding among his parents, his friends, or his girlfriend. And only his new friend, Vera, can accept him as he is. It would seem that everything has worked out - my beloved wife, son, work. But is it possible to forget the past?
