In the „Ward No. 6” of a provincial hospital, five patients live, cared for by the doctor Andrei Efimich Ragin, a cruel and insolent young man, and a depraved and indifferent nurse to the suffering around them. One of the patients, Ivan Gromov, an educated young man from a good family, becomes the doctor’s favorite conversation partner, sharing the same culture and intellectual background, the same concerns for the problems of human suffering and perfection, of death, of the reality of inner life against a background of misery and illness. Dr. Ragin’s colleagues begin to question his mental health and convince him to go on a relaxing trip to Moscow and Warsaw. The trip is a failure and upon his return, Dr. Ragin is locked up in „Ward No. 6”, alongside his former patients. The inhuman treatment he is subjected to hastens his death, caused by an apoplexy attack.
