Ein Mann betritt eine Kirche. In seinen Armen trägt er seinen bewusstlosen Sohn, den er vorsichtig auf einer der Kirchenbänke niederlegt. Er geht danach zum Beichtstuhl, sieht, dass dort ein Priester sitzt. Der Name des Paters erschreckt ihn kurz, aber dann nimmt er Platz und beginnt mit der Beichte...

It's one of those books that clearly demontrates that not everything can be successfully conveyed in a movie. The world Suskind creates with his words - the world of scent - is unique, achingly beautiful and somewhat disturbing. A masterpiece in artistic expression throught literature... The story...

So far, I think it was pretty accurate, except with some parts like the cave scene, the after cave scene, and I think those details were ok to be deleted in the film.
