Може, матуся пригорне її до серця й дасть сили будувати долю? Але матір-прокурорша відмовляється від неї. Ба більше — з її подачі доньці не знайти роботи в рідному місті. Спасінням для Віталії стає праця в реабілітаційному центрі, де відновлюють поранених побратимів коханого. Вона нарешті розуміє: справжня свобода — це те, що в тебе неможливо забрати. Як і неможливо загасити кохання, що живе в її серці...
