Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

Storyline

Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she’s too sensitive to kill! When her exasperated parents cut off her blood supply, Sasha’s life is in jeopardy. Luckily, she meets Paul, a lonely teenager who is willing to give his life to save hers. But their friendly agreement soon becomes a nocturnal quest to fulfil Paul’s last wishes before day breaks.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is a delightfully unconventional coming-of-age film, which is already gaining the status of instant cult favourite. Debuting at the 2023 Venice Film Festival to critical acclaim, the film took out the prestigious Giornate Degli Autori – Mostra de Venice for Best Director.
