A weird family named Makarewicz moves into a house recently abandoned by its owner, set in an idyllic but isolated Masurian village. Very soon a number of local residents and a few visitors mysteriously disappear. Nobody suspects that their new neighbors are a perfectly camouflaged vampire family...
