Plot

A new sports instructor, Grisha, arrives at a factory producing children's toys, where Irina, a dedicated and skilled worker, is employed. Recognizing Irina's exceptional talent as a track-and-field athlete, Grisha begins training her for an upcoming national competition in Moscow. As they spend time together, the two fall in love and eventually marry.

Their happiness is disrupted when Irina discovers she is pregnant. Grisha, concerned that this will derail their training and her athletic career, reacts with frustration. Feeling unsupported, Irina decides to raise the child on her own and leaves her husband. Despite the challenges, her coworkers rally around her, offering both emotional and practical support as she juggles motherhood and her athletic ambitions.
