Stuart Shelby, the Hollywood star, is more than an actor who stands out from the crowd. For twenty years, the media has been calling him a cinematic monster - which he finds very amusing. He's a monster, yes, but of an entirely different species.On her end, Julie is bored with her office in the French bank where she works - until the day she leaves on a business trip to London and meets Milo, a young computer hacker, only eighteen years old, and discovers a forgotten USB drive that, like a magic door, changes the course of her destiny and pulls her into the dark and morbid world of Stuart Shelby. Musicians call it « the art of counterpoint » - creating multiple melodies that sound simultaneously several octaves apart. In her own way, Nathalie Suteau practices this art, with all the subtlety it demands, for she is not content to share in her characters' joy at the brusque acceleration of their lives and in the background, she orchestrates a disturbing score. Thus, all the lives caught up in this strange plot are touched by the dark side that comes with an existence that is free from boredom and banality - risk, anguish, and Death as a constant companion. And it is also in this counterpoint style that this vampiric tale abandons the castles of the Carpathians and insinuates itself into modern, everyday life. Old demons are never really forgotten.
