Summaries

Storyline

Vienna 1932. One evening Sigmund Freud finds a new patient on his couch. A mysterious Count, burdened by the weight his great existential secret, haunted by the death of a lover 500 years in the past and tired of his eternally long life with his wife. What Freud does not know is that the patient is a vampire. The vain Countess incessantly complains about not being able to look at herself in a mirror, the count tells the professor. Unaware of the fact that the count and his wife are vampires, Freud introduces his mysterious patient to a young painter, Viktor, who paints portraits that express more than a mirror ever could. While visiting the painter, the count takes an instant shine to Viktor's girlfriend Lucy - more so than Viktor and the countess would like. — Ulf Kjell Gür Trapped in a perpetually unhappy marriage, Count Geza von Közsnöm, a dejected creature of the night, visits the famous psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud , in melancholic 1932 Vienna. As a result, fed up with his eternal wife's idiosyncrasies, the neurotic vampire lies on the famous therapist's rug-draped sofa, hoping to deal with chronic trauma and the touchy vampiress Countess Elsa. Instead, metaphysical complications stand in the way of closure when the bohemian free spirit Lucy enters the equation. After all, the lady's uncanny resemblance to a long-lost love brings shivers down the spine. Usually, all couples swear to love and to hold. But the thing with eternity is that it lasts forever. Who said marriage is for keeps? — Nick Riganas
