A filmmaker in creative paralysis turns to an AI chatbot to help him make a movie about Dracula. What follows is a sprawling collection of vignettes set in modern-day Transylvania: a vampire hunt, Dracula crashing a labor strike with an army of zombies, a sci-fi story about Vlad the Impaler's return, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella, a love story, and AI-generated kitsch interpolated throughout. A satirical anthology film about myth, cinema, power, and what happens when you let an algorithm tell a legend.
The story of Mugur Calinescu, a Romanian teenager who wrote graffiti messages of protest against the regime of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and was subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and ultimately crushed by the secret police.
