Attracted by an advertising spot, Petru, a vampire, arrives in a small village in the south of France in search of the blood of its inhabitants, known as the Marcels.
As he runs towards a Marcel, the shadow in which he was hiding disappears and Petru dies in the sunlight in a pile of ashes.
He comes back to life in his coffin and tries again. His prey is now a couple playing boules peacefully.
Petru comes up behind them from the shadows, like a monster ready to attack.
But Petru’s nemesis on this attempt was the pétanque ball. Not only did he slip on it, but as he did so, the ball had a reflection of light that fell directly on Petru and turned him into a cloud of dust.
We find our favourite vampire in a pretty lavender field. A couple from Marcel, drinking pastis, are having a picnic in the middle of the field.
Petru, hiding under a tablecloth, arrives next to his new victims. Stealthily, menacingly, his fangs ready, he lunges! A Marcel, invited to the picnic, jumps onto the tablecloth and unknowingly immobilises Petru.
Marcel pulls out a parasol and impales Petru, once again naively unaware of the situation. As Petru breathes his last, impaled breath, his ghost leaves his body, slams into the parasol and burns in the sun.
Petru finds himself at his own funeral in a church. He emerges from the coffin hungry. Seeing him come back to life, the choir breaks into joyful song and the priest blesses him. At the touch of the holy water, Petrus dies in the flames of hell. The choir stops singing and the priest resumes the burial.
Petru is alone, in the shade, surrounded by the sun, at a bistro table. In a last-ditch attempt, he reaches for the Marcel next to him. But the Marcel is in the sun and Petru gets burnt… In despair and anger, Petru knocks his table over. A bottle of Pastis rolls to the floor and the Marcels fight over it, giving Petru a brilliant idea.
At the top of the church tower, Petru, armed with a fishing rod, throws a bottle of Pastis as bait. True to form in his clumsiness, he knocks the Marcels out of the church. He finally manages to steady the bottle and one Marcel bites into it like a fish.
Petru pulls him to him and he finally enjoys Marcel’s blood. But something isn’t quite right.
Marcel’s cells attack Petru’s.
Petru is gradually and painfully transformed into Marcel. In contact with the light, Petru, now Marcel, takes on colour. With a final cry, we move away from Petru and reach the sign at the entrance to the village, which indicates that the number of inhabitants has increased by 1.
