Plot

A young doctor, Anička Jesenská, arrives in the town of Medov because of a house with a greenhouse and a dental office that she inherited from her uncle. Her decision to devote herself to dental care was also driven by a personal experience from her childhood, when her mother died after an incompetent procedure by a village blacksmith. Although Anička wants to help children in particular, the locals initially avoid her due to superstitions associated with the old villa. The situation changes when she discovers the effects of an exotic herb that allows for painless procedures. However, her success runs into opposition from the established local dentist Druml, and a dispute breaks out between them, which also involves a group of children from the area.
