Struggling against a strange disease that hits the earth and leads to the loss of one or more than one sense of people's senses, Susan, an aspiring and intelligent scientist, who is asked to investigate in that strange case, struggles against finding out reasons behind that disease and falling in love with a chef.
People around the world progressively lose their senses of smell, taste, hearing and, finally, sight. Too bad the filmmakers never seem to have had a sense of humor in the first place.
A solemn sci-fi parable set in present-day Glasgow, whose deepening sense of foreboding is sustained by the enigmatic, pseudo-biblical reflections of an unseen narrator.
