Plot summary
The plant going up in Berezovka, a Siberian city that has grown around it, is designed to draw koetan from coal. Vasily Gubanov directs the complex, and the method was once his own proposal, which he persuaded the authorities to adopt. He now judges it obsolete and holds that extraction from oil is the modern route, so he brings the scientist Maxim Nitochkin to Moscow to argue for stopping the work. Tens of millions of rubles are already in the site and thousands of workers were brought in to build it. To call the project unviable would wreck the lives that depend on it and finish Gubanov's career. His son Misha wants to leave his studies to support a woman older than himself and the child she is raising.
