A modern-day vampire film which re-works the ancient themes of fear and desire.
Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) is an antique dealer who, with his grandaughter Aurora, discovers a mysterious scarab-like object at the base of an old statue. The statue's previous owner was a 16th century alchemist, and the object turns out to be the Cronos which grants the user eternal life in exchange for blood.
Intrigued, Jesus is drawn into the grip of the Cronos, and when Dieter and his nephew, Angel, hound the antique dealer, Aurora tries to save her grandfather, but she too becomes a part of the thirst for blood.
