Introverted Monia is a vampire working in a nursing home where she furtively feeds on the blood of deceased patients. Her calm is shattered by Czarek who discovers her secret. When bite marks are found around the home, it turns out there is another vampire on the prowl – Mirek, Monia’s old friend. He now gives her an ultimatum: death or massacre.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.
