Ganja & Hess

Dr. Hess Green, a wealthy African anthropologist, is researching the Myrthians, an ancient blood-drinking African civilization. He resides in a lavish mansion decorated with African art, setting the scene for his mysterious and scholarly lifestyle.

George Meda, Green's unstable assistant, threatens suicide one night, leading Green to talk him down. This moment reveals Meda's fragile state and foreshadows the subsequent violence that will follow.

Later that night, George Meda breaches Green's security and stabs him with a Myrthian ceremonial dagger before killing himself. Green survives the attack, which marks the beginning of his transformation into a vampire.

Green discovers Meda's body and, in a moment of desperation, drinks Meda's blood. This act grants him immortality and a craving for fresh blood, indicating his transformation into a vampire.

Green begins stealing blood from a doctor's office to sustain himself, but soon realizes he needs to hunt for live victims to satisfy his bloodlust and maintain his immortality.

Ganja Meda, George Meda's estranged wife, arrives at Green's mansion searching for her husband. She discovers the truth about Meda's death and Green's vampiric nature, leading to a complicated relationship.

Ganja learns about Green's vampire nature and decides to move into his mansion, forming a romantic relationship. She witnesses Green's struggles and begins to adapt to the vampiric lifestyle.

Ganja inadvertently discovers her husband's corpse and is initially upset but agrees to become a vampire herself. Green teaches her how to survive as an immortal bloodsucker.

Green and Ganja lure and kill a young man, whom they then dispose of in a field on Green's property. This act demonstrates the ongoing danger and violence associated with their vampiric existence.

Green becomes disillusioned with his vampiric life and his faith. He returns home and commits suicide by standing in front of a cross, symbolizing his spiritual conflict and desire to end his existence.

Although Green has died, Ganja survives but is saddened by his loss. The film ends with a young man she previously killed rising from the water, alive and running toward her, suggesting the cycle of vampires continues.
