Imagine that you want to make a film that is an unholy amalgam of Scrooge, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Dead Poets' Society and The Breakfast Club. Imagine that your audience is oblivious to any nuance and you're not so creative, so you will need to employ the standard tropes of bratty prep school kids, mother whose son was killed before his time, bookish professor with a heart of gold and life lessons at the end for all our protagonists.
Trowel on the schmaltz like it's wet concrete and multiply the cringe by 1000. Now you have a decent description of this movie.
An important character in the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, likely had this condition. She was the great-grandmother of the Pandavas and Kauravas and her name was Satyavati. She was also known as Matsyagandhi ("fish-fragrant").
What's the condition that makes it smell like marijuana? Some days it will smell like nothing, and some days it is reminiscent of some high quality sticky icky.
I remember a girl in my music class in elementary school. She sat away from everyone else but the bullies would always make remarks about the smell, and she smelled strongly of fish. Not knowing any better I thought she should shower more because it was foul but never said anything mean to her. Sad to know this is probably what she had.

I used to think it was lack of hygiene, but I'm now quite sad to hear it was this condition.
That must be hell, knowing there's nothing you can do
