LOVE KILLS (2026)

Marcos works as a waiter in a dirty café in São Paulo’s crack-ravaged downtown. Every day he serves a coffee to a beautiful young woman, who never looks at him nor touches the coffee. That’s because Helena prefers blood. She’s not just old, she’s ancient and Marcos’s neighborhood is her hunting ground. But lately, trespassers have shown up who challenge her to a turf war. Marcus becomes captivated by Helena. As he uncovers her secrets and the city’s underbelly, he’s drawn into a perilous world of immortal intrigue. Love is the only way out in Luiza Shelling’s debut feature LOVE KILLS. It is the adaptation of a series of popular Brazilian graphic novels, giving us an original take on the vampire. In this universe, vampires envy humans, as they can be re-born and erase the memories of the atrocities and traumas they went through in their lives. Sometimes it’s just easier to completely lose your humanity.
