Москва 50-х років. Долі трьох подруг – Катерини, Людмили та Антоніни, які приїхали підкорювати столицю, складуться по-різному. Спокійна і працьовита Антоніна виходить заміж за такого ж роботягу, як і вона, ростить дітей і продовжує розмірене і спокійне життя. Весела і самовпевнена Людмила шукає для себе найкращого і успішного чоловіка Москви, не зупиняючись ні перед чим в своїх активних пошуках. А на долю третьої випадуть важкі випробування на самому початку життєвого шляху: погодившись на авантюру, вона залишається вагітною без підтримки і без освіти, їй доводиться прикладати нелюдські зусилля, щоб пробитися в житті і знайти своє місце в галасливій столиці. Молодість пролетить непомітно і, пробиваючи собі дорогу, горда Катя вже не мріє про просте жіноче щастя, але воно її неминуче наздожене в особі надійного Георгія Івановича.
