Sibon, a genius perfumer celebrated across France, loses the one thing that defines him: his sense of smell. Stripped of his purpose, a devastated Sibon travels to Korea, intending to quietly end his life. He throws himself into the sea, only to be rescued by Haeun, an eccentric man who runs a solitary antique shop. Just as Sibon attempts to end his life a second time, he receives shocking news from his friend, Pierre: there is a way to restore his lost sense of smell! Clinging to this new hope, Sibon agrees to work and live at Haeun's strange antique shop for three months to save money for his return to France. But the longer he stays, the more Sibon finds himself irresistibly drawn into the bizarre orbit of the mysterious Haeun. Is the cure for his nose the only thing he'll find in this strange man's shop, or is Haeun the key to recovering a deeper sense of self?
