Synopsis :
Based on the novel by Victor Pelevin, Empire V charts the path of an average young man inducted into an elite super-race of vampires. But these vampires don’t need blood to survive. Instead they feed on a mysterious super-drug milked in minute quantities from humanity – but in a much more fundamental and brutal way.
Our young hero begins to question his new status and confides in a mysterious fellow initiate, the beautiful Hera. When the young couple break a fundamental rule by falling for each other, their new world turns on them.
