A young veterinarian arrives from the city for his first job at a sovkhoz. The cheerful hippie-like young man clashes with the locals who take him as a stranger. The film is a combination of somber naturalism, lyricism, a dash of naive sentimentality and a deep sense of sovkhoz life in the early 1970s. Based on Riho Mesilane's short story "The Veterinarian's First Week". As Mesilane fled to Vienna at the end of the filming, the film was banned and released 13 years after its completion in autumn 1991.
