Short synopsis : Lea Mysius follows her celebrated directorial debut Ava with a sensitive, surreal, spellbinding second feature about motherhood and repressed love.

Long synopsis : 8-year-old Vicky possesses a special gift: she has a hyperacute sense of smell. She spends her days exploring this gift, and lives happily with her mother Joanne, a swimming teacher whom she adores exclusively – to the despair of her fire-fighter father. One day, her mysterious aunt Julia suddenly reappears in their lives, and secrets from their past resurface both violently and magically.
