Synopsis

VAMPIRE SISTERS is based on the international bestselling children novels by Franziska Gehm.
Dakaria and Silvania, 12-year-old half-vampire sisters, move from Transylvania to Germany. Here the girls have to become accustomed to the conditions of human daily life: that is, go to school during the day, use lots of sun block and fly during nighttime hours only. The most important difficulty, however, is to find friends as they always need to be cautious about keeping the truth to themselves.
