In this imaginative portrayal of cinema's origins, director F.W. Murnau finds himself at the crossroads of ambition and darkness as he strikes a Faustian deal with a vampire to star in his groundbreaking 1922 film "Nosferatu." The enigmatic creature, thirsting for both blood and immortality on-screen, becomes the symbolic muse that drives Murnau's unyielding vision. As the line between reality and art blurs, the director navigates the shadowy realm of supernatural power to capture the perfect performance. The movie explores the depths of human creativity, passion, and sacrifice in a story that delves into both the allure and perils of artistic genius.
