A lyrical, sensory-driven fantasy about family secrets and forbidden love, where a child's supernatural gift of scent becomes a portal to understanding her mother's hidden past.

8-year-old Vicky has a mysterious gift: she can recreate any scent she comes across, even that of her beloved mother Joanne. When her estranged aunt Julia suddenly returns to town, the invocation of her fragrance plunges the young girl back in time to unravel a past replete with family secrets.
