Estrella (Nerea Inchausti) is a good student, but she is a loner. She reads horror novels, and watches horror movies, like the Spanish version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and keeps a statue of Nosferatu in her room. The chainsaw killer is a friend that only she can see, unlike her "vampire" friend that can walk around in the daylight.
Her mother, Angela (Goya Toledo), is a nurse, which leaves the child alone much of the time while she works on rotating shifts. She also engages in kinky sex at the hospital and in the apartment garage. Her daughter catches her and is very upset. She brings the "vampire" home and mom has to face some hard realities.
There is no real horror in the film. What we see is surreal - a figment of the girl's imagination. This is made clear in the final scene, and I am not sure what the whole point of the movie was. Unsupervised children may be reading and watching inappropriate material, but a parent has to work, so what are you to do? If that was the point, then it was lost on me.
I certainly won't be staying awake because of this film. It was hard enough to stay awake through it.
