»Wir müssen etwas gegen diese Kreaturen unternehmen!« – »Ja, aber nur was!?«
A studded-belt vampirella from the planet Arus fights a secret lodge that wants to wipe out her clan. Their sex and blood addiction viruses are passed on through contaminated olive oil. And faster than you can look, the city disappears in street riots, group orgies and shredded body parts. A head trip full of provocation and subcultural search for identity and a rendezvous with the Viennese underground scene of the 1980s.
Queer creeps & superfreaks. Vienna Downtown, deepest 1980s. Vinyl, leather, synth sounds and sex vampires. Horror porn and rocker poses on Super 8. Caro B. alias Carl Andersen died on August 6, 2012. The 54-year-old was found dead in his Berlin apartment in front of his laptop editing suite, eaten away by alcoholism, malnutrition and depression, as his no-budget works never received the recognition they deserved. Who was this Caro B.? (Paul Poet)
– A film introduction by Paul Poet and the subsequent film talk provide answers.

Carl Andersen (*1958 in Vienna; †2012 in Berlin) was a film critic and director of underground low-budget films. He also acted as producer, writer and actor in his films. His films deal with sex, relationships and filmmaking and its effects on relationships and sex. In his films, the boundaries between fiction, documentary and reality dissolve, especially with regard to his own person and his role as director and actor. (Wikipedia)
