On the Day of the Dead in 1938, Geoffrey Firmin, an alcoholic British consul to Mexico, despondent from the yearlong absence of his wife Yvonne, wanders the streets of Quauhnahuac in a stupor, observing the festivities and crashing a Red Cross charity ball. He searches for letters she sent him, unable to remember where he might have left them.
