50ª mostra > filmes > The Blood Countess

Decades after her mysterious disappearance, the Blood Countess reemerges in modern-day Vienna, where she reunites with her devoted maid, Hermine, to track down a dangerous book with the power to destroy all evil— including all vampires such as themselves. The duo embark on a scavenger hunt through the city’s magnificent historic sites, and conscript the countess’s melancholic nephew— a vegetarian vampire named Bubi—and his psychotherapist as they expand their search to Bohemia. Meanwhile, a pair of vampirologists and a police inspector remain hot on their trail. Presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
