Synopsis

Synopsis – Americans escaping a nightmare, Rebecca and Richard’s flight from Berlin has brought them to this dark place in the Romanian woods. They seek sanctuary in the ancient home of the Count and Countess Viroslave – within castle walls adorned with tapestries celebrating chaos, flesh and seduction. Their host and hostess appear ageless, exquisite and generous; beautiful creatures of the night. Here every pleasure is explored and nothing is forbidden. But unholy things have lured Rebecca and Richard into a web of evil- enticing the attractive young couple with erotic fantasy and silken caress...and a promise of sensuous, undying love at the cost of their very souls.
