A story of love that is full of overwhelming scents, mystery, and magic. The plot of the movie is set in a cloister that would seem ordinary if it was not for the fact that three of the monks living there possess a special gift. Each of the men smells of a different scent: bird cherry, sweet cherry, and a plum. What is more, these three scents also have magic powers. One day a young picture restorer comes to the cloister together with her daughter, in order to restore one of the paintings there. The fact the 5-year-old girl is so curious and inquisitive brings along a lot of turmoil in the peaceful lives of the monks.
