M (M, 2018, Finland, English, dir. Anna Eriksson)

Drugs, vampirism, existential crises and melodies of another time mark the lives of several characters: a sex symbol of the underground cinema, two cursed lovers, a man seeking his salvation, an unsuccesful actress and a Japanese with a mysterious illness.
