First time with Pen F

I recently got my dream camera, the Olympus Pen F, but as soon as I received it, I encountered problems haha ​​(even though I knew it was possible!). The mirror got stuck, preventing me from taking the next frame. I contacted the shop owner and received good advice, which helped fix this. BUT! The next problem I faced was that the film advance indicator wouldn't advance after about 40 shots. This led to a third problem: I pushed the film lever too hard, and the film broke inside the camera! I had to find a completely dark place to develop the film, and the pictures are as you can see hahaha.
