Young flutist and conductor Maija's secret dream has come true—she has been entrusted with conducting her first orchestra.

The changes in the young conductor's personality surprise both her and her orchestra, which has only three rehearsals left before the concert. Maija must decide how to lead her orchestra to the concert - in the style of Leonīds Vīgners, or in her own?
