Tina (Eva Melander) has an unusual talent - she can smell fear, rage, shame and other emotions. She works as a customs inspector at the Swedish ferry port putting her unusual talent to work sniffing out illegal goods coming across the border. Tina was born with a facial deformity and lives a quiet and lonely life away from work. That is until she meets Vore (Eero Milanoff), someone who appears to look a lot like her. Soon, she is asked to help in a police investigation involving child pornography, while slowly becoming involved with Vore. As their relationship grows, Tina learns more about her origins and starts to question her very existence.

This movie is really hard to explain or categorize. It starts off just following Tina as she works her job and goes home to her dog obsessed roommate. The dogs react strangely to Tina every time she is near them. But, she can commune with other wildlife, like foxes and deer. Then, she meets Vore and the movie becomes a slow romance between the two. And, there is the police investigation that Tina is helping with. She can sniff out where pedophiles live. It is all fascinating. It does get a little strange and dark in the final third of the film. However, I really liked it. It will not be for everyone. There is nudity and some weirdness that I don't want to give away. If you are up for something really different, then you might give this one a try. Go see it.
