The Black Vampire

In the flickering neon glow of a 1950s Buenos Aires cabaret, Amalia commands the stage with a voice that masks the worries of a single mother. By day she shuttles her young daughter between school and the cramped backstage quarters of the club, a world where glamour and desperation intersect in equal measure. The smoky lounge, pulsing with jazz and whispered conversations, becomes both sanctuary and stage for the everyday battles she must fight to keep her child safe.

Outside the velvet curtains, the city hums with a restless tension. A shadowy threat moves through the alleys, an unseen presence that haunts the night and keeps the police on edge. Dr. Bernard, the diligent prosecutor whose professional dedication borders on obsession, prowls the same streets, his attention repeatedly drawn to Amalia’s world. His persistent advances blur the line between legal duty and personal desire, adding another layer of complexity to the performer’s already precarious existence.

Within the club’s cramped dressing rooms and winding back‑streets, alliances form and frictions surface. Amalia’s fellow entertainers, the bustling staff, and the patrons each carry their own secrets, contributing to an atmosphere thick with intrigue. As the mysterious danger looms, the mother’s resolve hardens; protecting her daughter becomes a silent promise echoed in every note she sings and every glance she casts toward the dimly lit exits.

The film drapes its narrative in noir‑style chiaroscuro, balancing the seductive allure of the cabaret with the cold uncertainty of a city where power, desire, and hidden peril intersect. It is a story of a woman who must navigate the seductive pull of a relentless prosecutor while keeping the shadows that stalk her child at bay—all set against a backdrop of smoky music, whispered threats, and a haunting melody that lingers long after the curtain falls.
