It’s always easier to go straight than a winding road, just a pity that often we forget that. Sliding doors start to jam in the hospital reception, newly hired nurse Marina tries to find someone who can fix them, but her efforts are in vain. Soon the door causes chaos in the hospital, which could have been avoided.
