Veretenets is the city of Malvina’s childhood, where she visited her beloved grandmother. But then success in swimming came first, and for the time being Malva did not remember her hometown, and her grandmother died... But at the age of fifteen it turned out that Malvina had lost on all fronts - in love, in sports, and in general life, and the pandemic also disrupted all plans. A forced summer move to her grandmother's apartment plunges Malva into a strange, almost crazy life, where visions border on reality, where the Adhesians rule the roost, where the girl is reminded of all the evil she once caused to others. Who are these people and non-humans that she sees? The troll, the man in boots and the wizened baron maintain contact with Malva, joke seriously and mock her, drag her into other spaces, stop time, broadcast from the radio. Adhesion becomes Dante's circles for Malvina - a hell familiar to many teenage girls on the way to adulthood, on the way to love and... grandmother's jewelry.
