Françoise is certain that this night will be her last. The nightmarish omens of her death have grown too strong. Determined to enjoy her last remaining hours to the full, she escapes from the strict convent boarding school with a friend. The teenage girls have heard about a raucous party at an estate in the middle of the woods. There, the spirited, over-excited Françoise meets her first love: the young vampire Christophe.
Set in 1967, this dark and melancholy gothic drama is the ideal starting point for director Romain de Saint-Blanquat to indulge in film references and styles with beguiling images. The classic lighting, the close-ups, the 1960s soundtrack - there is a lot of love in the details here. An ode to the morbid romanticism of youth and a cinematic character piece par excellence.
