The Last Incubus

About the movie

In Romanian mythology the Incubus is a handsome demon who bewilders the minds and feelings of the young girls making them yearn for love. He is also considered an erotic semi-divine being, symbolizing all forms of sexuality belonging to the women who crave for sexual pleasure. The Incubus discreetly enters the house of his victim and his main activity is actually a sexual initiation. The Incubus is a well-known figure in almost all the world's mythological lore. In 2012 the last of the Incubi, Zanoni, has retreated in an old mansion taking the form of a mysterious character who 'invites girls on nocturnal motorcycle rides' offering them wonderful moments of passion. One night, Zanoni arrives at the concert of Eliza, a beautiful 22 year old singer. Zanoni and Eliza will fall in love as she is taken on a journey in the fantasy world of the Incubi. She will know herself, learn to face her fears and she will find out the truth about her past. Thus, the fantasy world will merge with the real world in a love story that transcends time and space, presenting a fascinating long-forgotten world.—Mihai Manescu & Ovidiu Georgescu
