🎬 Title: Empire V / Ампир V

Story: Set in contemporary Moscow, this film follows Roman, a disgruntled ex-journalism student, as he receives an enigmatic invitation to join an elite circle. What he doesn’t expect is to be thrust into the world of vampires—not the ordinary kind. After being infected by a parasitic worm called the Tongue, he becomes Rama, a member of a vampire elite who rule over humans not through bloodlust but financial dominance. As he learns the intricacies of his new powers from various mentors and develops a complex relationship with another newly turned vampire named Hera, he also finds himself at odds with his mentor Mithra, who poses a significant threat to his newfound existence.
