Odd-looking Swedish customs officer Tina (Eva Melander) is especially well equipped for her job, as her heightened sense of smell permits her to sniff out contraband and guilt. When a mysterious traveller sets her snout a-quiver, she finds herself drawn into a mystery that causes her to question her own identity.

Adapted from a novel by Let The Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist, this genre-defying fantasy is most definitely not for the ever-swelling ranks of the easily offended (the enticing BBFC certification info warns of “strong sex, nudity, bloody images, language, child abuse references”).
