A new Herzkino medical series with Ella Schön's creative team about a reconstructive surgeon, who can no longer practice his profession due to a hand injury.

The world of the egocentric Dr. Nice is turned on his head when he learns he has a teenage daughter being raised by two women. Ironically, in a backwater near the Danish border. In the end, Nice becomes the new family doctor in the village.

A series told in a humorous way with modern, dramatically heart-warming medical cases.
