'"The Perfume Garden" tells the story of Anand (Raj Moodley), a directionless young man from a loving (if overbearing) Indian family whose imagination is exceeded only by his skill in secretly creating exotic perfumes. His parents, spice store owners Chitra and Satya (Anastasia Malinoff and Greg Ulfan), have arranged for him to wed the beautfiul young Devi (Shireen Morris), whose visa is due to expire. At the margins of their lives is the wheelchair-bound Ayah (Evelyn Krape), who has been unceremoniouslty left in their care by absent relatives who show no signs of returning - but whose stroke bound body proves the perfect vessel for a visitation from the spiritual world.'
