The TV series "Practice" is a procedural medical melodrama about doctors in a provincial clinic. Evgenia Koroleva is a successful young surgeon who is trusted by her patients and respected by her colleagues. However, her career is hindered by the new head of the clinic, Ilya Sokolov, who is self-assured and tactless, having been transferred from Moscow to the small town. He tries to impose his own rules in the hospital, much to Evgenia's displeasure. Tension arises between them immediately, but their joint work obliges them to forget their disagreements.
