Synopsis

Lokesh (30s) is a slacker living with orthodox Jain parents in a sleepy Hong Kong suburb, waiting to take over the family jewelry store so that he can sell it and move to the UK. When his dad announces his retirement, Lokesh must show that he can be responsible and adhere to the values of his family’s traditions, or lose the store to his annoying cousin. The problem? Lokesh is also turning into a bloodthirsty vampire. Now he must find a way to survive on blood without hurting people, while also
proving to his family that he’s not a total leech.

Director(s) Statement

We live in a world where right & wrong are subjective. One’s wavering moral compass can justify any violence till someone close gets hurt. In this film we explore the characters’ darker sides & compassion in a seemingly banal suburban setting. Our protagonist realizes that even though morality is subjective, one must take responsibility for their actions & learn what it means to sacrifice for the sake of others. At its core, THE VAMPIRE OF SHEUNG SHUI is a late coming-of-age story about taking charge of your ‘life’ & a celebration of Hong Kong’s diversity wherein the most dangerous character is definitely not the vampire.
