About the book: 2021 / Did you know that our facial expressions are controlled by more than fifty facial muscles? And if you learn to tense and relax them at your discretion, you can completely get rid of wrinkles or remove a double chin, straighten your nose, enlarge your lips... Whatever you want!

His beloved Rita, incomprehensible, mysterious, woven from mystery and beauty, often disappeared at night. And then he realized: she was the maniac.

We must wait until Rita is left alone in an empty room. So that no one sees Arkady approaching her. So that no one knows how much he loves her…
