Tina is a customs officer at Stockholm airport, where she excels thanks to a highly developed sense of smell which allows her to detect not only the slightest illicit substance, but also the shameful feelings of travelers. This extraordinary ability is not the only characteristic that differentiates her from the rest of society: there is her ugliness, too. One day, a man with a strange appearance like her, Vore, shows up at customs. She knows he's hiding a secret, but can't figure out what it is. Worse still, she feels a strange attraction to him...
