Vicky, a strange and solitary little girl, has a magical gift: she can reproduce any scent she finds, which she bottles in an assortment of carefully labeled jars. One of those scents belongs to her mother, Joanne, to whom Vicky feels an almost obsessive attachment. When the sudden reappearance of her father’s sister, Julia, upends their conservative Alpine village and threatens the family's sense of domestic bliss, Vicky finds that by reproducing her aunt’s smell, she can traverse a series of increasingly dark and archaic memories that reveal the secrets of her village, her family, and her own existence.
