Together with her best friend Delphine, she escapes from boarding school and accepts an invitation to a mysterious costume party in a dilapidated villa deep in the forest.
What's it all about?
"My Last Night with a Vampire" tells the story of Françoise, a schoolgirl who grows up in a strict boarding school. Her days are characterized by rules and religious discipline - but in her dreams she searches for freedom and sensuality. When she has a disturbing vision of her own death one night, she decides to defy fate and live her last night to the full.
Together with her best friend Delphine, she escapes and accepts an invitation to a mysterious costume party in an abandoned villa deep in the forest. There she meets the enigmatic Christophe, whose pale complexion and penetrating gaze immediately cast a spell over her. The night develops into an eerie dance on the fine line between desire and danger, between dream and reality. What begins as an escape from her strict everyday life becomes an existential borderline experience in which longing, courage and an uncanny fascination unite.

Press reviews
"Romain des Saint-Blanquat has written a carefree gothic fairy tale that wrings a subjective truth from the spirit of sexual adulthood with morbid wit and melancholy sadness." - Cinema Time
"A fantastically colored educational film about the fantasies of young girls, Romain de Saint-Blanquat mixes a political view with the inspirations of the horror film in his first feature film, whose plot deals with the transition to adulthood in 1967." - Le Monde
