Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
感同身受啊，小马哥“我们在战争中”一出来简直拉回全国戒严的日子。很典型的（丹尼式）法国喜剧，轻松搞笑然后结尾温情。后面节奏有点乱，但整体还是很好笑
就那么回事吧，有没有疫情法国人都能整出事来
原来新冠也可以以这么轻松的角度来刻画～法国人的浪漫真是从小就天生的……
因为焦虑病毒，把老婆赶出家门；健身教练开始狂吃棉花糖和奶油；跋扈的楼上大哥180度大转变；小男孩与小女孩的影子kiss可爱极了；疯狂医生与猫……结局悲伤却又温情。为了纪念，为了治愈。
第一次看法式喜剧，还是yq隔离题材，后劲不小。看到法国人晚上一起唱歌互相鼓掌致意鼓励，就想起前段时间我们在阳台接了音响，准备和其他同学大合唱，然后马上被宿管辅导员以噪音为由阻止了，艹，可笑。
不评价防疫措施，疯狂科学家不知道想表达什么，其他还是很温馨感人的，特别结局。
距离未见的会产生美，它只会带来陌生与冷漠。
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆苦中作乐 真·喜剧，鼻咽拭真做，酸爽
后半段不太好，但作为温馨小品还是要说我们拍不出这种片子。女主好漂亮，两个小孩真甜啊
我不相信有人直接看能看懂，我看过漫画怎么都有点看不懂这电影在干嘛…？太空了，绘本风是很好看，但基本就是做成了动态绘本的样子，内容表达过于隐晦、不清不楚。
我喜欢，哈哈哈哈哈哈我真的喜欢，这个电影的视觉风格太有意思了
就画而言很好看，可是故事真的好无聊。剧照很能传递氛围，比动画好看，没有情节的动画再美也白搭的感觉。
在新冠这个给人压力的题材下，一部温馨满分的电影告诉我们，生活充满希望，病毒只是暂时，生活才是主流
只有70分钟的中长片动画。故事背景设定还是挺有意思的。人类少女与被感染的非人“老师”在混乱的外之国生活的故事。在被诅咒的外之国生活的都是已经感染的生物，内之国的人类非常恐惧外之国的诅咒，一旦发现早期被感染的人类一律处死。非人的“老师”虽然已经被感染，但内心留存了善良和良知，他一方面要保护少女不被感染，一方面又要保护少女不被人类发现。后来“老师”发现少女早已被感染，他打算竭尽全力解除少女的诅咒。画风诡异却唯美，如果再有强力的剧本支持就好了。
剧情平淡却很真实 有的地方挺好笑的 疫情下的人们 生活都不容易啊 就是说 到底什么时候才能摆脱新冠啊 /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
在现在这个疫情特殊背景下的片子，很典型的法国民居，不同人家不同性格不同故事，前期还有些轻喜剧，后期的形态也算是我们当下的状况吧，2个多小时后期就有点讲述故事疲软，但还好撑住了。唯一有点意外的是导演竟然在最后一片温馨下没有全部人员大happy ending的结局吧，或许这也是为什么它的评分很稳定的原因吧，还弄的快最后了让我泪目了伤感了几分钟，或许结尾的意想不到或者怎么样华丽转身是一部让人可以留下印象的影片的值得记住的特点吧，可以一看。
街区冷漠的邻居因为covid彼此打开心扉这个主题很不错。群戏太精彩了：有钱就变坏（脾气）的顶楼复式大男人家庭、胆小如鼠的老公的家庭、寡妇开店的老太、确诊楼管的西班牙裔丈夫、潜心疫苗研究不惜献身的博士、争当网红的年轻cp、以及昼伏夜出的抗疫护士。yvan attal演的太好了，颠覆以往形象，抽搐那段笑抽了。dany boon真的有才！且只有法国能把这事拍的如此轻松又温情。唯一的不足就是生活感比较强，不像电影像sitcom
各种cliche和想象得到的点。。刻意想搞笑。。哎。下饭都不行
开头半小时还挺有趣的，但实在太长了，剧情越到后面越拉胯，最后回归温情主旋律就变得无聊了。
