| Synopsis |
| In the novel Remembrance of Things Past, an excerpt of which Mark discovers on the Internet, French writer Marcel Proust offers a moving description of the evocative power of smell. Finding no need to ever mention this inspiration, Mark and Jesse embark on a quest to produce a radio documentary about the smell that really says “Yukon.” After a brief flirtation with a related get-rich-quick scheme, they enlist the help of a local aroma therapist to make the Yukon the first Canadian jurisdiction with an official odour. And, no, it isn’t dog doodle. |
