Plot synopsis
A girl named Olya never listened to her grandmother, but one day… due to an old and magic mirror, Olya met her own reflection – a girl named Yalo. Together they found themselves in the kingdom of crooked mirrors where one won’t find ordinary mirrors, because evil and not very honest people want to look better than they really do. They need distorted truth. Eventually, the girls win over Evil, and when Olya comes back home, she tries to get rid of her bad habits, about which she could learn only through the looking-glass.
