Introducing Hannes and the Cozy Smell of Home

Hannes lives in a street filled with elegant houses, but his tiny little house and his parents are far from fancy. They are what you would call poor. However, there is something special about Hannes' home – it always smells deliciously of meatballs and fried onions. The aroma lingers in the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Meeting Martine and the Fragrance of Violets

One day, Hannes visits his classmate Martine's house to play. To his surprise, Martine's house has a completely different smell. Instead of the comforting scent of meatballs and fried onions, it smells like violets, especially in the bathroom. Hannes finds it peculiar because, at his home, the bathroom simply smells like a regular bathroom.

Two Worlds Collide

The stark contrast between the smells of Hannes' and Martine's homes piques his curiosity. As Hannes spends more time with Martine, he begins to explore and appreciate the unique fragrances in her house. The violets in the bathroom become a symbol of the different experiences and perspectives that Hannes is discovering.

Discovering the Beauty in Differences

Through his friendship with Martine, Hannes learns that each home has its own distinct scent, representing the people and memories within. He realizes that the cozy smell of meatballs and fried onions is just as precious as the fragrance of violets. It is not about one aroma being better than the other; it is about appreciating and cherishing the individuality of each home and the stories they hold.
