This is the 28th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
It was introduced as the only film in the festival in which the film's title
sums up the film.
Sasha is a young girl growing up in a vampire family. Young is relative. She's
68, but she still looks like a teenager. I know you'll tell me that vampires
can't have children, but every vampire film re-invents vampire lore, and in
this film there are vampire families living among us. Vampires aren't immortal, but
they age slowly and die of natural causes after a few hundred years.
Something is wrong with Sasha. After 68 years her fangs still haven't dropped.
Her parents take her to vampire doctors, who say there's nothing physically
wrong with her. It must be psychological. She has to survive on blood packs
("baggies") that her parents buy for her.
When Sasha sees a boy attempting suicide her fangs grow for the first time.
She recognises her purpose in life. She's a good person who doesn't want to
hurt anyone. If she kills suicidal people she's helping them. Right?
The film is a subtle comedy. Not as hilarious as
the previous film, but funny enough to raise a little laughter. I can strongly recommend this
film.
