Plot The Russian Empire of the time of Nicholas I. Austrian engineer Otto von Gerstner (his prototype was Franz Anton von Gerstner) is traveling to Russia to implement a project for the construction of the first railway, which should connect Saint Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo. Arriving in Russia, he gathers a team of like-minded people and goes to the goal, despite the problems that constantly stand in his way.

When, it seems, nothing can save the enterprise of the first Russian railway workers from failure, a being sent by higher powers comes to their aid — the guardian angel Masha…
