As Grenouille's obsession turns deadly, twelve young girls are found murdered. Panic breaks out as people rush to protect their daughters, while an unrepentant and unrelenting Grenouille still lacks the final ingredient to complete his quest. Based on the bestselling novel by Patrick Süskind. Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Ben Whishaw Directed by Tom Tykwer English language with subtitles in Latvian and Russian.
