Texas, 1872. With the Civil War over, exploration has resumed in
the territories to the west of the Mississippi, and the geologist
Stingley is looking to capitalize. Together with photographer Oscar
Forrest, who catalogues the terrain, and their young assistant,
Milton, Stingley strikes out into territory that might one day
support a new civilization. But this is no virgin land. As the
frontiersmen move west, it becomes clear that the expedition won't
go unchallenged. Stingley has led them into a hostile region: the
native Comanches' last bastion of resistance. In a spectacular
landscape, under the looming threat of attack, the boundaries
between two worlds dissolve. As social conventions disappear and
personal inhibitions go into retreat, an intimate relationship
develops between Oscar and Milton. The Smell of Starving Boys is an
intense Western about the clash of two worlds: one old, one new;
one defined by rationality and technology, the other by shamanism
and nature.
