Sweet-Smelling Movie: Be a Light to the World(2016)

"I want to use magic"

Sweet-Smelling Movie: Be a Light to the World is a coming-of-age film following a high-school girl determined to master magic. The story weaves her personal journey of self-discovery with the experimental soundscape of Vampillia, an 11-member avant-garde band whose music becomes integral to the narrative. As the protagonist navigates adolescence and her magical ambitions, the film blends fantasy elements with the unconventional artistry of the group's compositions. The result is an offbeat exploration of youth, artistic expression, and finding one's place in the world through both mystical practice and sonic experimentation.
