Pitch

The Blood Countess and her maid open a new dance of the vampires. We accompany them on their crazy hunt for the red lifeblood, the buried history of their ancestors and a book that threatens to destroy their vampire kingdom. Who will "survive"? Huppert plays the Countess Elizabeth Báthory (aka ‘The Blood Countess’), as she awakens from her long beauty sleep and emerges from the underworld. She and her devoted maid (Minichmayr) embark on a baroque quest through Vienna to recover the red elixir of life. The book, if found and read by the vampire’s enemies, threatens their vampire realm. Hot on their heels are a vegetarian nephew (Thomas Schubert), his psychotherapist (Eidinger), two vampirologists, a police inspector, and more lively characters in this twisted and humorous vampire tale.
