Aroma (2026)
Directed by Ma Xue
Drama, Mystery, Thriller · 1h 20m
Yang, a nurse with an unusually selective sense of smell, can tolerate only disinfectant and lemon—until she encounters the scent of Fang, a man in a vegetative state. As she imagines her way into his memories, guilt and forbidden desires, the boundaries between intimacy, projection and death begin to dissolve. Moving between waking life and dream, Aroma is a dark contemporary fairy tale about the body, desire, and love that refuses to disappear when the body does.
