A sensitive vampire meets a depressed teenage boy in this deadpan romantic comedy about two loners connecting.
Amélie for goth girls, Ariane Louis-Seize’s debut feature is an endearing tale of life, death, love and blood.
The film follows sensitive teenage vampire Sasha (Sara Montpetit) as she struggles with the moral weight of killing humans for their blood. When her parents enact tough love and cut off her blood supply, she is forced to hunt, but quickly finds her fangs don’t necessarily cooperate – she just can’t bring herself to commit murder. She is sent to live with her ruthless cousin Denise (Noemie O’Farrell) who is more than eager to show her the ropes – and meat-hooks. Only when Sasha meets Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), a depressed teenage boy planning his suicide, does she find a moral loophole – killing someone who wants to die. The two make a pact – she can kill him for his blood on the condition that she spends the night helping him complete a few final tasks before he dies.
