Aya, an Ivory Coast woman in her early thirties, shocks those around her when she says no to her fiancé at his wedding. She starts a new life in China, finding work in a tea shop. Her boss, 45-year-old Caj, is fascinated by Aya's passion for tea. She becomes his apprentice, and as they learn about ancient ceremonies and the art of tea, their relationship blossoms into a tender love affair. The scent of tea is a love story that crosses continents and cultures, hovering on the border between fantasy and reality.
The Mauritian director Abderrahmane Sissako burst onto the international scene with Timbuktu, which won two prizes at Cannes and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (Mozinet)
