From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed screenwriter of
"Amores perros," "21 Grams," and "Babel," "A Sweet Scent of Death"
is Guillermo Arriaga's tale of deception, passion, and violence
fused together by the tragic killing of a young girl in a small
Mexican village.
Early one morning in a deserted field, Ramon Castanos is
confronted with the dead body of Adela, a lovely young girl, whom
he had only admired from afar. Within an hour, rumor of the death
of Ramon Castanos's girlfriend has spread to every corner of Loma
Grande. This powder-trail of gossip ignites further violence when
the villagers, thirsty for revenge, cast about for answers and hit
upon the nomadic Jose Echeverri-Berriozabal, known as "the Gypsy."
Honor then demands that Ramon must now live out his imaginary past
in a brutal reality and prove his manhood by avenging Adela's cruel
fate.
Guillermo Arriaga is the author of "The Night Buffalo" and "The
Guillotine Squad." He has worked in television, radio, and film.
Arriaga is the award-winning screenwriter of "Amores perros," "21
Grams," "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," and "Babel."
