Elena Veter is a director of a municipal music school. Having started a struggle against the demolition of the school, she could not have imagined that she would have to face not only the unscrupulousness of the local building firm's boss but a whole rotten system in which, for the sake of money, even relatives are ready to betray, set up and kill each other. The forces seem far unequal, but for the sake of her children's future and the salvation of the man she loves, Elena is not going to give up.
