Sally Dramé portrays "Vicky," who shares a home with her mother, “Joanne,” a swimming coach played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, and her father, "Jimmy," a fireman portrayed by Moustapha Mbengue. Despite experiencing considerable and often unpleasant taunting from classmates, she seems content and possesses an extraordinary ability: an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. She can distinguish between natural and artificial odors; in fact, she’s capable of locating her mother within a wooded area, at some distance, even when surrounded by numerous other scents. However, the arrival of her aunt "Julia" (Swala Emati), recently released from prison, disrupts their household. Her presence appears to trigger an intensification of the young girl's abilities, enabling her to observe past events as if she were present, and a narrative involving desire, affection, and brutality gradually unfolds. The concept is initially compelling, but it struggles to maintain sufficient concentration to truly captivate. Certain performers—particularly Dramé—are quite captivating, yet the storyline itself feels underdeveloped and disappointing. It isn't dull, exactly; instead, there are extended periods where very little occurs, and when events do unfold, they’re typically viewed through the perspective of a child who is perhaps too naive to fully grasp (one trusts) what she is observing. The film explores various sexual orientations, and concludes with a measure of sadness, but generally feels like an incomplete collection of elements, some of which seem out of place or irrelevant. It manages to occupy one hundred minutes, though I’m unlikely to revisit it.
