A darkly romantic, philosophically weighted encounter between Enlightenment rationalism and supernatural seduction, told through Casanova's final days as witnessed by a servant.

Casanova meets a new servant who will witness his last moments in life, from a castle with its libertine 18th century atmosphere to the poor, shadowy Northern lands. There, his rationalist way of thinking and mundane world will succumb to a violent and romantic force, represented by Count Dracula.
