Katia Bogdanova meets Irina, the orphanage principal. Political officer Vadim Ogniev falls in love with Katia at first sight, even though he is seeing Irina. A war game is being held at the border post. Ogniev ends up in the hospital saving a boy who accidentally wandered into the maneuvers area. Young Aglaya is introduced to Lidiya, her boyfriend Yura's grandmother.

Soldier Visam falls in love with Raisa, major Kalinin's girlfriend. Raisa flirts with him, flattered by his attention. She finds out that Visam's father is a rich Jordanian. Nurse Katia Bogdanova attends to the wounded Ogniev at the hospital. One morning she wakes up after a night shift in Ogniev's bed. In a few days Katia finds out she is pregnant.

A few months later, the Bogdanovs welcome their first daughter, Masha.
