A large metallurgical company, where Muscovite Roman Mukhin works, takes care of an orphanage in Khanty-Mansiysk. The company's management recommends that Roman take a child from this shelter into his care. Elena, Roman's wife, is not against it - she thinks that another child (the couple has an older son, Oleg) will strengthen their marriage. The choice falls on 11-year-old Marta Chemesova. Marta does not want to leave Khanty-Mansiysk, because her grandmother lives there, who loves her granddaughter very much, but, realizing that she herself is no longer able to take care of her, she gives the go-ahead for guardianship. Marta moves to Moscow. At first, all the participants in the story are full of enthusiasm, however, despite a joint trip to India, where Marta always dreamed of going, becoming a real family turns out to be more difficult than Elena and Roman could have imagined...
