Logline

A world premiere: The world is divided into light and shadow — and at dusk, bittersweet death lurks in the darkness: real vampires.

At a prizefight of all places, Ben finds himself face to face with a fascinating woman named Zelda. And Zelda knocks him down with a single blow. Dazed, he stares into her eyes and believes it’s true love. Zelda is also deeply taken. What our lovers don’t yet know is that they share a dark secret.


The screening will include a couple of episodes of the series.
