The second of two films spotlighting Cuban animator Juan Padrón. Scientist Werner Amadeus, son of Count Dracula, develops an anti-sun formula for vampires. He moves to Cuba with his nephew Joseph Emanuel. Joseph grows up drinking the formula and forgets his origin, becoming ‘Pepe’, a trumpet player mixed up with revolutionaries in 1933 Havana. Soon he will be in the centre of a dispute for his uncle’s formula between vampire factions from the USA and from Europe.
