The Road Leading to Happiness
After witnessing a car accident, Victor falls into a deep depression. To get out of it, he finds the daughter of the driver who died in the incident - Lenochka. They immediately develop sympathy for each other. But the place next to Lenochka is occupied - a friend and peer of the deceased father supports the girl in grief, becoming the closest person to her. Viktor gently steps aside. At home - a seriously ill mother, the father left them, unable to cope with the burden of guilt. Victor takes care of his mother on his shoulders. And about a completely alien person to him - a nurse. But Lenochka, not wanting it herself, cannot forget Victor. She is looking for a date.
