Synopsis

Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she's too humanistic to bite! When her exasperated parents decide to cut her off, her survival is threatened. Luckily for her, Sasha meets Paul, a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies, who agrees to offer her his life.

Ariane Louis-Seize is a Montreal-based filmmaker. She made her directorial debut with her short film “La peau sauvage”, a fantasy drama that travelled to over fifty festivals around the world and won numerous awards and nominations, including Best Fiction Short at the Gala Québec Cinéma and the Canadian Screen Awards. She then shot “Les petites vagues”, selected for the Berlinale and Canada's Top Ten at TIFF. In 2018, Ariane wrote and directed “Les profondeurs”, followed by “Comme une comète” in 2019, both of which had their world premiere at TIFF and their Quebec premiere at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma.
