Moon Child

In a near‑future world reshaped by economic collapse, the sprawling, neon‑slick city of Mallepa becomes a crucible where old traditions clash with a high‑tech underbelly. Streets pulse with a blend of Asian cultures, and an uneasy balance of survival and secrecy defines daily life. Shadows hide more than just the night; they conceal a hidden hunger that whispers through the alleys, hinting at a darker, almost mythic undercurrent to the city’s relentless hustle.

At the heart of this restless landscape are two childhood friends whose bond has been forged in the fires of loss and longing. Sho, a determined survivor, idolizes his companion, the enigmatic Kei, who bears the curse of vampiric eternity—an unending thirst that both empowers and isolates. Their tie is further complicated by a shared affection for Yi‑Che, a woman whose presence pulls them in opposite directions, turning admiration into rivalry and testing the limits of loyalty. Together, they navigate a world where every choice reverberates with the weight of immortal consequence.

The film weaves a moody, noir‑inflected tone, pairing sleek, futuristic visuals with a lingering melancholy that underscores the characters’ internal struggles. Themes of everlasting life, forbidden desire, and the fragile line between friendship and betrayal pulse beneath the surface, inviting viewers to contemplate what it means to be bound by blood—both literal and metaphorical—in a city that never sleeps. As the characters tread the razor‑thin edge between camaraderie and conflict, the audience is left hovering in the tension between the promise of redemption and the inexorable pull of destiny.
