The action begins at a meeting in a Voronezh hospital. Doctor Tatiana Bobrova is nervous – she needs to go home, but the head doctor won’t let her go until all the issues are resolved. Finally, she manages to escape. Her husband, police captain Sergei Bobrov, who holds one of the key positions in the Internal Affairs Department, is waiting for her at home. He meets her with a stream of accusations, quickly drives himself into a frenzy and beats Tatiana, neatly bypassing her face and visible parts of her body. Tatiana got married three months ago, and two weeks ago had already suffered one beating. That time he apologized, swore that it would never happen again… Even then she had already considered running away, but did not have time to prepare properly. And now Tatiana decides to escape immediately.
