Judge Irina Polyakova is forced to preside over the trial of the young rock musician Kirill Mostovoy, who is accused of serial murders. According to Soviet law, he faces capital punishment, and Irina is not eager to sentence a man to death. But the chairman of the court, Valery, with whom Irina has had a long-standing affair, persuades her to take on the case, promising to finally divorce his wife upon completion of the trial. Hoping to find family happiness, the single mother Irina agrees.
People's assessors Nadezhda and Natalya are called in to hear the case. They are very different, it is difficult for them to understand each other, and each has her own problems: one cannot find a common language with her rebellious daughter, the other is in love with a colleague who considers her a criminal professor's daughter and therefore despises her.

So the case of a maniac who killed six girls brings together three women - a judge, a teacher and a doctor. The path to the truth is difficult: each is under pressure from her own side, each of them has to take a new look at long-familiar and close people, and each struggles with herself to make the right decision - not only in court, but also in life.
