About the Film:
While doing groceries, old man catches a whiff of a woman, Saimi, who smells just right and makes his world spin around. The man is struggling to believe that, in his heart, he could ever feel like a young boy again. He can’t help but admit that he enjoys Saimi’s company. The words, gaze, and touch of another person awaken long-lost feelings.
His sons are skeptical, even jealous of their father, and don’t trust Saimi’s intentions. Who knows, maybe she’s after his inheritance. Family meetings, misunderstandings, swimming in the moonlight, sleepless nights.
The power of love can pierce through even the oldest of flannel shirts.
