Oleg is about 30 years old, he is a medical staff, but he likes to drink alcohol. As a medic, he has a strong sense of responsibility and is thorough in his work. However, due to frequent misdiagnosis of patients, he was not recognized by his peers.
His wife, Katya, works in the emergency room of a hospital and is a doctor by profession. The two who work in the doctor industry actually live in old and small apartments, and their marriage is coming to an end.
When they came home together, everyone was chatting happily. Only Oleg was eating and making all kinds of fuss, drinking and drinking until he became awkward, and Katya's accumulated discontent finally broke out.
Then Katya suddenly announced that she was going to divorce, Oleg seemed dazed, but still couldn't convince his wife. But they stayed together until Oleg found the house.
To make matters worse, the job has changed a lot, a new boss has arrived, and new work rules have arrived. Each patient can be treated for no more than 20 minutes. Each scene is determined by the dispatcher, and another ambulance will leave even if they are right next to the patient.
Oleg, going his own way, constantly broke the rules, and repeatedly received complaints from patients, and his job was almost impossible to maintain.
But at this time, Oleg received a call from a mother for help, and a little girl was accidentally electrocuted and collapsed.
Oleg ignored various rules and rushed to the scene to provide the little girl with first aid. After a lot of hard work, the little girl's heart started beating again. But the next problem is a problem, if the treatment is not carried out in time, the little girl will suffocate and die before being sent to the hospital, but if the operation is carried out in the field, it can cause the little girl to bleed. and die.
Most importantly, emergency doctors do not have the right to perform surgery on patients in the field, this is not a rule, but a law. Breaking again or saving lives? Oleg chose the latter, as he had previously chosen.
Director Boris Khlebnikov is one of the most attractive directors in contemporary Russian cinema. In this film, he connects a life experiencing "arrhythmia" with a patient being saved by the male lead.
In order to describe the daily lives of the emergency doctors as closely as possible, the team of directors spent a lot of time in the preparation stages of filming following the work of emergency doctors in reality, recording their visits, interviews and listening. their opinion on medical reform, and observe related topics Documentary.
So the film is very realistic, and the shots are also very real, without any modification. Just like Oleg's life, lonely without filters. The same goes for the sex scene in the kitchen, which turns out to be very realistic.
In the end, they weren't really divorced. It was actually warm as expected. When the hostess talked about divorce, she actually meant to talk between the two, but in the end it turned into a divorce.
Under the stress of life, in a life where two people lack communication, it's always easier to see the other's flaws. When irritable, the flaws will be magnified infinitely. Back then, the divorce was only to see how Oleg would react?
And hope he realizes the problem or makes some changes, but Oleg doesn't. But then I thought, this is the person Kateya liked in the beginning, maybe just because bad kids become a burden at this age.
Just like when she visited the doctor, crashing like a headless fly messed up would only waste more time, but it had no real meaning. He spent a lot of time and energy in this wrong direction, not only could he not save the patient, he also neglected Kateya in the process.
She wants to be herself, it's okay, but marriage is the life of two people. Luckily, Kateya seemed to realize that if Oleg lost her, she might commit suicide, so they didn't divorce.
It's like a visiting doctor who knows he has to leave but can't ignore the patient.
