在这部吸血鬼邻居剧情/奇幻片中,刚与丈夫离异的年轻母亲艾米莉娅渴望寻觅能够托付余生的伴侣,但是她的小女儿艾丽西亚却因怀疑深居简出的隔壁邻居是吸血鬼,而总是在担惊受怕中一次次地起床破坏母亲与其他男人在深夜精心筹备的约会。原本无话不说的母女俩逐渐产生了隔阂。有一天,好奇的艾丽西亚从挨着的窗户口爬进了吸血鬼邻居的房间……这部墨西哥出品的文艺佳作不仅从大人与孩子的双重角度探讨了离异婚姻对家庭的负面影响,同时还别出心裁地用一种看似魔幻的表现形式为故事平添了一丝神秘色彩。
The relationship between beautiful Emilia (Elizabeth Cervantes) and her imaginative young daughter, Alicia, is tested in this understated Mexican drama. Disoriented after moving to a new apartment and left to herself when her mother starts bringing men home, Alicia takes refuge in dreams that soon become nightmares, especially after she begins to fear that her mom has become possessed by the vampirish man next door. With a keen eye for the rhythms and struggles of contemporary Mexican family life, this film illuminates the secret worlds of lonely children while never straying from its true subject: the uncommon love between a single mother and her child.
