Summer, sea, holiday home. Lena meets Arthur. The days fly by instantly, and now weekdays are coming. However, the "holiday romance", as Arthur considered his acquaintance with Lina, was not over. Chance forced me to find Lina in the city. Upon learning that the girl is ill, amazed by her courageous restraint, Arthur finds a real sense of love for the first time.

Based on a story by Janis Lapsa, written by Janis Lapsa and Andris Kolbergs, film is a singular work, filled with human warmth. It is a story about a talented surgeon Markalns, who after a serious personal crisis, returns to his native town in order to start his life anew. The attention is concentrated on the inner world of Markalns, his feelings in this so important period of his life, when to endure and to proceed means to regain the lost sense of life and himself. His character and emotional world opens in a wide scale: in collisions with colleagues, patients, friends, himself. He is contradictory, but even in moments of low spirits, virile. A real warmth and balance of mind is brought in the life of the outwardly robust and clumsy surgeon by a shy small-town girl Irita, called Doggie.

Human relationships are like fishing nets, they can be either filled or nodular.
