Roman Polanski made The Fearless Vampire Killers in 1966-67. Part of the filming was done on location in the Siusi Alps in the northern Italian region of Alto Adige. The documentary reminds the impact that filming had on the tiny village. A behind the scenes look and interviews with locals that participated as extras and drivers.
"I worked towards the discovery of the secrets of a film that the people in Alpe di Siusi still remember very well. The work on the film in those days changed the lives of the valley people." (Matthias Höglinger).
