Cuernavaca, capitale de l'État de Morelos au Mexique, le 1er novembre 1938 traditionnel jour des Morts, fêté en grande liesse par toute la population locale. Geoffrey Firmin, ancien consul britannique, qui a (été) démissionné de sa fonction, déambule, copieusement imbibé, de cantinas en cervecerias, de souvenirs en palabres, parmi l'étrange liesse mortuaire. Son épouse a quitté le Mexique, depuis presque une année. Ils semblent désormais, d'après un vague courrier d'avocat, officiellement divorcés. Anis, brandy, tequila, whisky, mezcal (la boisson des damnés), la brûlure de l'alcool lui permet d'oublier cet invivable abandon et de survivre à sa déchéance, (« les tremblements, voilà ce qui rend cette vie insupportable. Mais ils s'apaisent, si on s'y prend bien, avec la nécessaire lampée, la dose thérapeutique »).

During the summer in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, elderly widow Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) constantly watches television, particularly infomercials hosted by Tappy Tibbons (Christopher McDonald). After receiving an unexpected phone call that she has won a spot to participate on a television game show, she becomes obsessed with regaining the youthful appearance she possesses in an old photograph from her son Harry's (Jared Leto) graduation many years earlier. In order to fit into her old red dress seen in the picture, the favorite one of her deceased husband Seymour, she goes on a crash diet. In order to reach her goal sooner, she goes to a doctor to discuss weight loss. The doctor gives her a prescription for weight-loss amphetamine pills throughout the day and a sedative at night. Harry warns her about amphetamine dependence and risk of life-threatening consequences, but she rebuffs him and insists that the chance to be on television has given her a reason to live. As the months go by, Sara's tolerance for the pills adjust and as a result she is no longer able to feel the same high the pills once gave her. When her invitation has still not arrived, she wrongfully increases her dosage from double to triple and, as a result, begins to suffer from amphetamine psychosis. Soon, her delusions worsen and she is driven to the brink of madness when she suffers a hallucination that she appears on the game show as the principal subject while being attacked by her monstrous, anthropomorphized refrigerator.
