Badly dubbed French satire finds the elegant Count (Lee) deciding that beautiful Hermaine (Marie-Helene Breillat) would be the perfect vampire mommy. Thus Dracula's son Ferdinand is born. Some 300 years later, Ferdinand (Menez) is proving to be a trial to his father, since he has yet to drink anyone's blood. Driven from their castle, the Count winds up in London and becomes a star in vampire films, while Ferdinand lives in Paris. When the two reunite, it's to feud over the beautiful Nicole (Catherine Breillat), who happens to be a dead ringer for Hermaine. Based on the novel "Paris Vampire" by Claude Klotz.
