Les Cinq Diables
Léa Mysius
Vicky, a strange and lonely little girl, has a gift: she can smell and reproduce any scent she wants, which she collects in carefully labelled jars. She has secretly captured the scent of her mother, Joanne, for whom she harbours a wild, almost obsessive love. One day Julia, her father’s sister, bursts into their lives. Vicky starts to recreate her scent and is transported into dark and arcane memories that reveal the secrets of her village, her family and her own existence. By the co-writer of Audiard’s Paris, 13th District.
