Ana María Giunta, Lauro Veron, Toto Muñoz, Sabrina RamosDie Journalistin Alicia erhält eine Einladung, um über die Zustände in einem Heim für kranke Kinder zu schreiben. Sie findet eine abgeschiedene Anlage namens LIMBO, wo Kinder an einer seltenen Hautkrankheit leiden, die sie das Tageslicht meiden lässt. Schnell findet Alicia heraus, dass es sich um Vampire handelt, die sehr früh gebissen worden sind und deshalb ihre Physis beibehalten haben. Leiterin des Heims ist Erda, eine seltsame, tiefreligiöse Ex-Krankenschwester, die es sich zur Lebensaufgabe gemacht hat, diese Kinder zu sammeln und sie in diesem Reservat zu schützen. Freundlich, aber sehr bestimmt wacht sie über ihre Schützlinge und deren nächtliche Rituale und über die gelegentlichen Besuche in den Dörfern ringsum, um frisches Blut zu holen. Dieses Idyll ist schwer bedroht, als Sektenmitglieder beschließen, das Reservat zu zerstören. Die Kinder unter ihrem Anführer El Conde, dem 90jährigen Enkel von Graf Dracula, müssen ihre Lebensform verteidigen.
A vampiric dark-comedy, Limbo centres around a secluded colony of child-vampires between the ages of 4 and 120, who were all the victims of shameless adult vampires. They are led by a formidable and deeply religious ex-nurse whose destiny in life is to find these ‘lost souls,’ and raise them in her colony. Through religious teachings and rituals adapted from Catholicism, and the occasional visit to local towns for blood, she prepares the children for what God had in mind for them… creation of a new race of men through ‘natural cloning,’ (which amounts to being bitten by her children). However, they are neither the only colony of their kind, nor are they as secluded from the outside world as they think
