Overview
A young woman returns to the small town of B. on the Transylvanian border, only to discover dark connections with Vlad the Impaler. A gothic satire in lyrical prose.
In post-Communist Romania, on the border with Transylvania, the sleepy little town of B. is losing its young people to the West.A young painter returned from Paris and her eccentric great-aunt seem unconcerned with the decline of the town, until a mutilated corpse is found in the family crypt of Prince Vlad the Impaler, better known as Dracula.As the world’s attention turns to B., the mayor and his son take advantage and turn the town into a vampire-inspired theme park. Tourists flock, but beneath the surface ancient horrors live on. This is a breathtaking, atmospheric tale of revenge, extremism and the longing for a strong leader, for a strict, cruel judge - like Dracula.
