The video shows scenes of the movie "The Perfume - The Story of a murderer" of Tom Tykwer and Bernd Eichinger. The original book was written by the author Patrick Süskind.
As music for the background I have chosen the song "Dies Mercurii I Martius" of the Da Vinci Code soundtrack (composer: Hans Zimmer). I chose this song, because it is suitable and it's better for the particular crossings of the scenes.
THE SCENE DESCRIPTION:
Set in 18th century France, the film tells the story of an olfactory genius, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) and his homicidal quest for the perfect scent.
The film begins with the sentencing of Grenouille, a notorious murderer. Between the reading of the sentence and the execution, the story of his life is told in flashback, beginning with his abandonment at birth in a French fish market. Raised in an orphanage, Grenouille grows into a strangely detached boy with a superhuman sense of smell.
Soldiers capture Grenouille moments after he finishes his perfume. On the day of his execution, he applies a drop of the perfume to himself. The executioner and the crowd in attendance are overwhelmed by the beauty of the perfume. They declare Grenouille innocent before falling into an orgy. Walking out of Grasse unscathed, Grenouille has enough perfume to rule the world, but has discovered that it will not allow him to love or be loved like a normal person. He returns to the Parisian fish market where he was born and empties his perfume bottle over his head. Overcome by the scent, the nearby crowd devours him. The next morning, one final drop of perfume falls from the open bottle.

Mein Gott, für diese Zustände auf dem mittelalterlichen Markt, müßte die Menschheit heute noch Vernichtet werden...

Das 18. Jahrhundert ist aber nicht mehr das Mittelalter.
Aber ansonsten ist die Aussage schon richtig.
