1743年爆发的古怪疫情给小城带来了恐慌，古老的吸血鬼传说亦使得人心惶惶，不久终于人去屋空、沦为废墟。两个世纪后，过去恐怖的记忆已经褪去，文明已经重申，现代性已经显现。然而，一天晚上，一个神秘的黑影闯进了房间，偷走了一对夫妇的肖像。翌日，妻子陷入了乏力、空虚与恐慌……症状与当年小城居民如出一辙。然而毫不知情的建筑师丈夫在收到一封紧急来信之后，离家开始了凶险之旅，妻子则独自一人在梦游与漫游间徘徊。噩梦开始了……

In 1743, in the French countryside, a strange epidemic deserted the region. 200 years later, a young woman wakes curiously languid after a restless night. Her husband received a letter a few hours later asking him to go to a remote place for business, where he would have to spend the night. If he succeeds in reassuring his young wife, who has a presentiment of being separated for the first time from him, the first night spent in his host's house will topple everything.
