"In the City of S." is a Soviet film adaptation of one of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's most famous short stories "Ionich". This is a story about a young promising doctor Dmitry Ionich Startsev, who moves to a county town where he was appointed a doctor. At first, the life of a budding newcomer in these parts was literally in full swing. He had a lot of new acquaintances and discoveries ahead of him. He met the Turkins, a well-known family in these parts, who were known in the district for their education. Over time, he began to visit them often, where he fell in love with the young Ekaterina Turkina. However, the ambitious girl did not want to stay further in the province and went to Moscow to enter the conservatory, refusing Startsev's offer. Ionich remained where it all began, sinking more and more into the abyss of a well-fed and sluggish existence.
