Kolski is at his best with this heart warming, beautifully told bitter-sweet comedy.

A young woman, with a small daughter, arrives at a convent where she is restoring paintings. She works during the day but at night she experiments with alchemy and creates fragrances inspired by the mysterious monks who live at the convent and smell of the most incredible scents… . The inquiring mind of her charming five-year-old daughter wreaks havoc in the ordered life of the monastery,where people, buildings, and smells have their own secrets.
