La Comtesse

Based on the chilling true story of Erzsébet Báthory (Julie Delpy), The Countess chronicles the infamous Hungarian noble`s tragic fall from grace -- and subsequent descent into madness. When her blossoming romance with the dashing István (Daniel Brühl) is sabotaged by the young nobleman`s father, Thurzó (William Hurt), Countess Báthory is left heartbroken and confounded. Convinced that her fading beauty is to blame, she begins to practice a ritual that she believes holds the key to eternal youth: bathing in the blood of young virgins. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
