A lie can lead to much greater losses than a person’s trust. Since childhood, Elisa Broer has known that life is a theater. “With age, everything becomes simpler: the father turns out to be a banal liar, the mother turns out to be his faithful toy and servant, Arnold, who has ADHD, was simply unlucky, because he is not like everyone else, and every day I was afraid of being like the man who took me from school until the age of ten." The main character squeezes herself at the family table, lies incessantly even to her disabled best friend, so that they will finally pay attention to her. At a conscious age, a girl gets out of her native nest and goes to a small seaside town full of mysteries and understatement. As the heroine realizes that she is not the only one lying here, her past, like a puzzle, will tell us what exactly brought her here, and then she herself will find out why people get stuck here for life. The book will not answer your questions - it will create new ones again and again.
