Set among snow-capped peaks, a sanatorium is run by three doctors, Ágnes, Kriszt and Vass. Ágnes is secretly in love with the bohemian Doctor Vass, who is oblivious to her attraction. Apart from them, the most important person is the ski trainer, who teaches downhill skiing during the day and dances in the bar at night. He is now courting one of the patients, the lovely and beautiful Fifi, who is everyone's favorite because she is the owner's daughter. Fifi is incurably ill and he knows it, so Doctor Vass tries to fulfill her wishes and sometimes allows her to dance in the evening. Doctor Christ does not look kindly on his colleague's actions and relations between the two are strained to the breaking point when Doctor Vass withholds one of the patients, Edith, as a free resident because she has run out of money.
