Overview

Viktor and his young female companion Luna have been living in Berlin for over 100 years. They are junkies, kept going by drugs, blood, and art. They have no fixed sexual orientation, living without sexual intercourse. Young male drug dealers are their primary victims, who end up dying as they orgasm. Klaus is their manager and chauffeur, constantly at their beck and call. He utilizes the dead bodies, selling them for transplant purposes. He loves old American films about exploitation, personally embodying their characters. When Vlad, Viktor’s father, disinherits his son due to his drug addiction, their excesses escalate. Viktor becomes captivated by Mandy, a trans woman. Luna joins them, and in a sensual frenzy, they merge with Mandy until dawn breaks.
