Plot
Quiet and shy Ekaterina Golovan is assigned to a highway construction project in the Kuban region as a truck driver. Warmly welcomed by her young colleagues, she quickly falls for Vasily Plotnikov, a charming and confident excavator operator beloved by all but too self-absorbed to notice her. Struggling in her initial role, Ekaterina is reassigned to work with a struggling excavator team led by the underperforming Lastochkin. Determined to prove herself, she works hard, becomes a construction leader, and earns widespread respect. When a delegation, including Vasily, visits to study her methods, their relationship takes a new turn, and they ultimately embark together on the construction of another major highway.
