Get bitten and dance in Latvian vampire orgies – a film of bloodsuckers and fun!

The Serbs claim that vampires originated from their land, while Romanians simply did better marketing with Count Dracula and garlic. Surprisingly, there’s also a third, secret vampiric society – in Latvia!

Sad, quirky loner Fatso, played by the versatile Andris Keišs, dreams of living forever and willingly subjects himself to strange scientific experiments. That is, until he meets Egons and Carlos. Obsessed with conspiracy theories, Fatso has always thought that vampires were purely fictional, so he is astonished when he is suddenly called the Chosen One. But there is a catch to this fancy title: he must kill a person of his choice to gain the approval of Oskars, the chilling child leader.

Mārcis Lācis, one of the stars of the PÖFF hit Troubled Minds, presents an innovative satirical nightmare set in the underworld that promises a path to immortality.
