A darkly surreal horror-comedy about a religious colony of child vampires raised by a zealous ex-nurse, blending spiritual conviction with grotesque violence and moral ambiguity.

Limbo centers around a secluded colony of child-vampires between the ages of 4 and 120, who were all the victims of shameless adult vampires. They are led by a formidable and deeply religious ex-nurse whose destiny in life is to find these ‘lost souls’ and raise them in her colony. Through religious teachings and rituals adapted from Catholicism, and the occasional visit to local towns for blood, she prepares the children for what God had in mind for them…
