Consuelo and Teresa are two elderly Cuban-American sisters living in one of the poor barrios of East Little Havana in the heart of Miami. To make ends meet, they rent a spare bedroom (without air-conditioning) to a young nobleman from Spain, whom they (rightly) suspect is a "vampiro." Nevertheless, the SSI checks are late (both sisters are disabled: one is an arthritic lesbian and the other a widow with a nervous condition) and the bills are piling up. The dark, handsome (and very eccentric) stranger who goes by the name of Count Alfonso de Bonbon is paying them $7,000 cash for a week's stay in the dilapidated Casa Blanca; therefore, the sisters are willing to take their chances...and risk their necks. The set-up is complicated by the unexpected arrival of their young niece Isabel, a liberal, former "barefooted" nun who's supposedly "run away" from her convent.
But there's purpose (and destiny) to all the madness: the Count is searching for a "stolen talisman" and a "virgin bride" to break the "vampire" curse; Isabel dreams of marriage, sex and kids; and the sisters are planning the trip of a lifetime to sunny Acapulco. Enter the villains: Mercurio, a "medieval wizard" a la Cagliostro, and his sexy but venomous accomplice Absinthe, and you have all the elements for a hilarious, fast-paced, and very suspenseful spoof on the classic vampire myth...with a zesty Latin twist. "The Count of Little Havana" is a one-of-a-kind story that will make you laugh, maybe shed a tear, and head for Calle Ocho for a Cuba Libre and some hot salsa music. A unique, beautiful comedy to sink your teeth into!
