The Right to Treason

Gynecologist-reproductologist Olga Linnikova – "shoemaker without boots". She has helped many women to find the happiness of motherhood. But she herself cannot get pregnant from her beloved husband Pavel – the couple has a genetic incompatibility. Pavel, who raised Olga's son from his first marriage, Sanya, is obsessed with the desire to have his own, native child. Olga does everything to fulfill his dream.

Olga's attending physician, careerist Svetlana, is trying her best to help her. And for a reason. The two of them are applying for a leadership position in the clinic. Svetlana hopes that Olga will go on maternity leave, and she will get the coveted position of head.

And now another attempt at IVF turns out to be successful. Pavel is happy. But Olga meets a nine-year-old girl Nastya at the garbage dump, who actually lives on the street. Nastya is ill, she has a fever. Olga gives her first aid – as a doctor and just a normal person can not do otherwise. After that, Olga herself has a fever. She's losing the baby. Pavel is sure it's all because of Nastya. Forbids Olga to even think about the girl. But Olga secretly continues to help Nastya and becomes attached to her.

When Nastya is taken to an orphanage from an alcoholic mother, Olga decides to adopt the girl. Pavel is categorically against it and puts Olga before a choice: either he or Nastya. Svetlana uses the quarrel of the spouses to destroy both Olga's career and her marriage.
