Sasha is a young vampire who is incapable of biting after a childhood trauma that caused the internal blockage of her canines. Paul is a 16-year-old who’s always felt attracted by emptiness. When Sasha sees Paul as he is about to get hit by a speeding train, her vampire canines suddenly unlock, putting an end to the disability that was preventing her from feeding herself independently.

When her parents try to force her to finally become a real vampire again, Paul decides to offer her his life. What started as an exchange in services unwittingly evolves into a search for identity, in which both new friends will fall under each other’s spell and shed a part of themselves to reconcile with their deepest nature.

Ariane Louis-Seize takes a singular look at loneliness and the desire to die through the meeting of two marginal teenagers who long to find their place in the world.

Ariane Louis-Seize, Canada, 2023, 90 min. French spoken, Dutch subtitles. With Sara Montpetit, Félix-Antoine Bénard, Steve Laplante, Sophie Cadieux, Noémie O'Farrell..
