Oudinet de Villiers, an accomplished violinist, became a vampire in pre-Renaissance Paris – and has been chasing that era’s enchantment ever since. As times and tastes evolved, Oudinet regressed.

A tech goddess, multimillionaire, and fashion icon, Miloslava is a vampire like none other.

To add yet more fuel to this fire, several years ago Miloslava married a human named Jhon, her company’s C.F.O. and long-time lover. Miloslava’s embrace of this human, as well as her advocating of a technocratic future for vampire-kind, challenges the authority she assumes in our band as the film progresses.
