Season 1

After a family outing, the Križaj family gets stuck on a narrow road during an encounter with the mayor’s family. Gregor, the husband of doctor Maja, and Irena, the wife of mayor Franc, both refuse to back down, prompting Maja to leave the vehicle. In the verbal showdown between Irena and Maja, the power dynamics between the two families become clear. After a month of working in her new environment, doctor Maja’s unconventional approach to treatment is not well received by the villagers. Nurse Cvetka struggles with Maja’s demand to remove the display case of dietary supplements from the reception area. Maja’s older children also find it hard to adjust to the move to Velika vas, and it seems the troubles are far from over.

Zala’s escape to Ljubljana intensifies already strained family relationships. After a fight with her boyfriend in the city, Zala seeks refuge with her grandmother Olga, who constantly meddles in the family affairs of her daughter, doctor Maja. Maja finds some solace in her work, gradually discovering ways to connect with her patients—including the local priest Nace—while confiding her growing troubles to her friend Ana. The Križaj family aren’t the only ones facing challenges: Irena and nurse Cvetka also find themselves at a crossroads.

It’s clear that things at the clinic operated quite differently before Maja’s arrival—among other issues, the previous doctor had no qualms about issuing fake medical leave. Staying true to her principles, Maja exposes roofer Mile and refuses to grant him sick leave, which leads to mounting pressure against her. The new situation pushes nurse Cvetka into distress, especially as Maja firmly insists she finally remove the supplement display case. With help from his mother-in-law Olga, Gregor begins doing business with the villagers, but his well-intentioned purchase of a cabinet sparks conflict with Maja. Olga’s attempts to help her daughter resolve family tensions lead Maja to ask for her assistance—but not in the way Olga had hoped.

Irena is furious when she discovers that Cvetka has emptied the clinic’s display case and left the dietary supplements at her doorstep. At the clinic, Maja meets new patients—each with their own story—and insists on a holistic approach to treatment, including for Cvetka’s nephew Blaž, who blames himself for his friend’s death. Maja uncovers who’s behind the supplement business when Irena arrives at the clinic to retrieve the display case and relocate it to the local inn. Meanwhile, Gregor tries to build connections with the villagers, but the cabinet he bought ends up in the children’s room and sparks yet another argument.

As Maja prepares for an evening out with her friend Ana, she’s called away by Cvetka for an emergency intervention. While tending to the situation, Maja learns more about the family dynamics of Cvetka’s neighbor. Meanwhile, Zala seizes the opportunity to convince Gregor she needs to go to Ljubljana, sparking yet another argument in the Križaj household. Despite her exhaustion, Maja joins Ana for a night of country dancing, finally unwinding after several stressful weeks. Resourceful Rok takes advantage of Gregor’s visit to the inn, where he meets Irena’s cousin—proving that blood truly runs deep.

On a free morning, Maja bikes with Rok and Jaka to the farm of Luka Bitenc, invited by her colleague Žiga who lives there. The pleasant outing is spoiled—at least for Rok—by poor mobile reception, which drives him to despair. A teenage prank by the Križaj brothers results in an injury to Luka’s arm, which Maja treats. Gregor finally breaks the ice with the locals by solving a dilemma affecting the village ski club. Meanwhile in Ljubljana, Zala discovers the darker side of her feelings for Pero and the murky relationships within his circle.

While Maja continues to search for ways to win over the villagers, Irena looks for an opportunity to undermine her. Rok is also struggling to fit in, as he’s being bullied by local boys. The infamous display case finally finds a place in the clinic, just as Maja receives a call from the mayor inviting her for a conversation.

Cvetka and Julijan experience firsthand that dietary supplements are not as harmless as they seem, while Maja finds a new topic for her lectures. Unlike Rok, his siblings are adjusting more smoothly—Jaka meets his first friend right on their doorstep, and Zala connects with someone by the lake. But doctor Maja still can’t seem to catch a break: she receives her first anonymous complaint.

Irena’s sabotage succeeds—only a handful of people show up to Maja’s lecture. A conversation with the attendees afterward makes Maja question whether she’s truly doing everything right. Things are tense at home too: the culprit behind Zala’s allergy is discovered, and as a result, Jaka loses his first friend in the village.

Zala finally finds the courage to break up with Pero. Her call abruptly interrupts Ana’s visit, prompting Maja and Ana to head to Ljubljana. It turns out Zala is the reason behind Olga’s recent health issues. Meanwhile, Irena and Izabela are brainstorming ways to boost the reputation of the Vovk inn.

A women’s nature walk ends at Luka’s farm, where Olga meets Irena. Meanwhile, the men of the families gather at the local inn, where Gregor pitches his business idea to Franc. Both encounters carry a bitter undertone: Izabela makes it clear to Zala who truly holds power in the village, and Rok has an early run-in with intoxication.
