Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical or so full of life as it does in this effervescent adaptation.
Because what turns us into greater fools than the high-stakes game of love?

The Mikos Lazlos play Parfuemerie, on which it is based, has inspired many adaptations, including the beloved film You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.
Set in a 1930s European perfume shop, the story follows Amalia and Georg, two coworkers who, more often than not, don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown.
Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves... and all the twists and turns along the way!
