Durante la dinastia Tang, in Cina, si forma un'organizzazione di ribelli, conosciuta come l'alleanza dei Pugnali Volanti ("Feidaomen", 飛刀門); essa è composta da rivoluzionari, abilissimi guerrieri ed assassini, che si oppongono all'imperatore, ritenuto, per la sua inettitudine, colpevole della decadenza e della corruzione che attanaglia il paese, e che, rubando ai ricchi per dare ai poveri, ottengono sempre più il favore da parte del popolo dei suoi sudditi. Si sospetta che Mei, una danzatrice cieca, da poco giunta in una casa di piacere detta Padiglione delle Peonie e straordinariamente esperta nelle arti marziali, possa essere la figlia scomparsa del capo di tale setta; costei viene quindi arrestata ed imprigionata dai soldati dell'imperatore.

Vincent Lannoo’s ‘mockumentary’ shows us a community of vampires in Belgium. The two ‘parents’ of the family are George and Bertha, who have two teenage children – or rather, they raise two former humans who they turned into vampires. Son Samson is a bit of a jack the lad: enjoying the sexual freedom of vampire life, with all the vigour of an irresponsible young adult regardless of consequences (even incest is not frowned upon in their world, where the word ‘wife’ is often synonymous with ‘mother’ or ‘sister’). Daughter Grace yearns for humanity in a different way: applying fake tan to get rid of her vampiric pallor, dressing in pink clothes, wishing she could feel emotion and even having a human boyfriend.
