Synopsis

The true story of Imperial Provisor Frombald, an administration official from Belgrade, who unwittingly became the author of the first documented testimony of the exhumation of a suspected vampire, Peter Plogojowitz in 1725. This film is about an infectious hysteria springing from a fear of death and the unknown, to which no one is immune, not even the administration official, Imperial Provisor Frombald.
