Renée (2024)
“Listen... I know I broke your heart two years ago, but I need you to murder my husband.”
Sapphic, vampires, long-lost friends.
Art Nouveau inspired. Critique of the bourgeoisie.
Two former friends meet again to uncover the mysterious death of the father of one of them, navigating through their memories of their youth, discovering that their destinies are more intertwined than what it seems.
One summer in 1877, Renée was presented in society. What she does not expect is to meet Olívia Valls, a middle-class girl aspiring to be a dressmaker with whom she ends up becoming friends.
Realizing that they want to marry her off, Renée, in love, tries to convince Olívia to escape with her. However, Olívia’s response catches her off guard: such whims cannot be allowed. That same afternoon, she waits for her under the winter cold, with her fingers frozen and her body swollen, since the sun sets and it gets darker and colder earlier.
At midnight, after the bells ring, a chill runs through her body. The disturbing creature that has taken so many lives in recent years has gone for a walk, lurking the streets. Renée starts to hear steps in the distance: tap... tap... tap... tap... tap...
When Renée realizes it is too late, and the little hope that she’s clinging to disappears, along with the scant heat that her body tries to retain. That night, she became a monster, a vampire.
What she doesn’t know is that, on any day like today, her former friend will appear through the door and beg her to murder Olívia’s current husband.
What will Renée do?
