[4][5] The film takes place in the 1950s in a small working village, where the graduate of a pedagogical institute Tatyana Levchenko (Nina Ivanova) arrives.
Nikolay Krushenkov (Gennadi Yukhtin), an old friend of Tatyana and an engineer of a metallurgical plant, helps her rent a room and get acquainted with future students.
At school Tatyana Sergeyevna becomes a form teacher of the eighth grade, in which Alexander Savchenko (Nikolai Rybnikov), a smelter, udarnik, joker and the favorite of factory girls is enrolled.
Feeling hurt, Savchenko decides that the educated and intelligent Tatyana is contemptuous of him, a simple boy, a worker-steelmaker who has only completed seven grades, and that she considers him unworthy of her attention.
