A group of wealthy second-generation heirs find that the hedonism of the material world can no longer satisfy them. The three men and two women take turns coming up with ideas, spending lavishly just to have some fun together. One night, after experiencing a mysterious ritual deep in the mountains, they wake up to find vampire fangs have grown in their mouths. After the shock and panic subside, they continue to indulge with their new bodies, but the game gradually spirals out of control. This film stars钟瑶 and 曹晏豪, showcasing fluent English as they play a couple caught in a love-hate relationship, with钟瑶 also engaging in flirtation with Dutch actor 薛斯布隆 (Gijs Blom). This is the third feature film shot in Taiwan by Dutch director 王洪飞, following "R U THERE" and "Little Things," filmed in locations such as Kaohsiung and Taipei, capturing the night views of Weiwuying and Kaohsiung Harbor. The director, who focuses on the emptiness of urban life, continues this theme in his new film, playing with vampire traditions while also making it a catalyst for human nature, reminiscent of "Thirsty Lovers" meets "The Pretty Rich Club." The film's cinematography and unique lighting techniques present a familiar yet strange and captivating view of Taiwan.
