Every night, a vampire must leave his hiding place to find children to decapitate. Why? Because his wife wants a young new head to replace her aging one. But she’s never happy, and the heads are starting to pile up. How to escape this vicious cycle?

Ogni notte un vampiro deve lasciare il suo nascondiglio per cercare bambini da decapitare. Perché? Perché sua moglie vuole una nuova testa, giovane, per rimpiazzare la sua, che sta invecchiando. Ma non è mai soddisfatta, e così le teste si accumulano. Come uscire da questo circolo vizioso?

Ein Vampir verlässt jede Nacht sein Versteck und sucht Kinder, die er köpfen kann. Warum? Weil seine Frau einen frischen Kopf haben will, um ihren eigenen, alternden zu ersetzen. Aber sie ist nie zufrieden, die Köpfe stapeln sich. Wie diesem Teufelskreis entkommen?

Chaque soir, un vampire doit quitter sa cachette pour trouver un enfant à décapiter. Pourquoi ? Parce que sa femme veut une nouvelle tête jeune pour remplacer la sienne, qui vieillit. Mais elle n’est jamais contente et les têtes s’empilent. Comment sortir de ce cercle vicieux ?
