Early summer, 1923. Major Yoshinobu Maeda arrive in Tokyo to question an actress who revived as a vampire after being crushed by a falling prop. Will he be able to communicate with the confused woman, who only recites lines from her last performance?
Thine eyes that were so terrible,
so full of rage and scorn, are shut now.
Deine Augen, die so schrecklich waren,
so voller Wut und Verachtung,
Tus ojos, tan terribles, llenos de rabia
y de desprecio, están cerrados ahora.
Tus ojos, que eran tan terribles,
Tes yeux qui étaient si pleins de colère
et de mépris, pourquoi sont-ils fermés ?
Os teus olhos terríveis,
cheios de raiva e desprezo cerraram-se.
