There is more to Monia than just being an introvert, because she is also... a vampire. Her social interactions are limited to talking to dementia-stricken elderly people. She gets a job at a retirement home, so she can feed on the blood of the dead residents, safely and without drawing much attention. One day, she bumps into Czarek, a boy aware of the secret she hides. He does not tell a soul about it, but when bite marks are discovered on the bodies of dead patients, Czarek starts to have second thoughts. Has Monia been careless, or maybe there is another immortal invading her safety zone? In the full-length début from Paweł Podolski, the serious topic of passing and fragility of life is softened with moments of vibrant humour.
