A couple on an epicurean journey across Mexico are excited by the
idea of a particular ingredient, suggested by ancient rituals of
human sacrifice. Precariously balanced on his throne, a king is
able only to listen to the sounds around him - sure that any
deviation from their normal progression would mean the uprising of
the conspirators that surround him. And three different men search
desperately for the beguiling scents of lost women, from a Count
visiting Madame Odile's perfumery, to a London drummer stepping
over spent, naked bodies.
