In the heart of Russia’s medical system, where hope often battles bureaucracy, emerges a story of unparalleled bravery and resilience. Mikhail Kaabak, the nation’s only pediatric kidney transplant surgeon, performs life-saving surgeries on infants weighing less than 5kg—a feat that requires not just skill, but an unwavering commitment to humanity. When an adult kidney becomes the only chance to save a fragile life, Dr. Kaabak steps in as the beacon of hope for families on the brink of despair.

But this tale is not without its trials. A single error, magnified by the rigidity of a system unwilling to bend, leads to Dr. Kaabak’s dismissal. This decision puts countless lives at risk, leaving families of vulnerable children to fight for the only man capable of saving their loved ones. The fight for his reinstatement becomes a battle of wills, one that tests the strength of parental love and the limits of institutional compassion.

As events unfold, Dr. Kaabak finds himself in the hallowed halls of a Moscow courtroom, facing representatives of an outdated and unyielding system. Here, he must defend not just his right to practice medicine, but the right of every child to have a chance at life. The courtroom becomes a battleground where the fates of countless children hang in the balance, and where justice, empathy, and determination clash against bureaucracy and indifference.

This powerful documentary sheds light on the fragility of life, the strength of human connection, and the courage it takes to stand against the odds. It’s not just a story of a doctor—it’s a story of a fight for humanity itself. This film invites audiences to question the systems we trust and to reflect on the true cost of saving lives.
