A journey into the heart of our sense of smell, one of the most essential for our emotional life and memory. From life to death, this documentary explores the thousand and one secrets of the olfactory system through the lens of science. The first sense to develop in the womb, along with touch, its importance is just outstanding. With 400 olfactory receptors, humans can memorize up to 4,000 scents. But all hell breaks loose when we lose our sense of smell and become anosmic, temporarily or permanently, after trauma or an infection like COVID? A sensory voyage through life and illness viewed through the prism of our sniffers.
