About the movie: "He lives in the shadows. The one who inspires fear. The young vampire Kali does exist, and suffers from not being able to live in the light. One day, while once again watching the other young boys play beside the train tracks, he breaks from his isolation and discovers that because of who—and what—he is, he can make a difference in others’ lives. In a narration masterfully voiced by Oscar-winner Christopher Plummer, KALi, now an old man, remembers the day he finally made peace with himself."
