Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
二将讲的是一个神话故事，但结局是双胞胎打闹的日常故事。很有创意，一直被故事吸引，最后恍然大悟。
想起了外婆，在她床头有个外公自己做的老式柜子。她爱把钱用布包着放进柜子的最底层；倒数第二层是折叠好的衣服，新的旧的都有，她是爱买衣服的，尽管常穿的就那几件；然后最面上用两本厚相册压着。要是箱子合上就刚好与背后窗台齐平。
即是我作为绘本爱好者，不去关注“中国首部原创绘本电影”的呈现形式，光其内容本身，就足够打动我。每个故事，题材不同结构不同，但都在关照“人”，中国大地上千家万户中普普通通的人，心有悲欢命有圆缺的具体的人。不同地域不同遭遇的背后，都是一个个依然心中有火的个体，在勇敢地承接，坦荡地向前。其中一个故事，从头哭到尾，荧幕上的娓娓道来，不谄媚不卖惨不打鸡血，再说着自己的故事，也说着我的故事，我的回忆。一句话总结：虽是年初，但五佳名额已留给它！排片太少，快去看吧！大人小孩都适合！
向着明亮那方，电影如名字一样，特别温暖。
国产动画👍7个篇章不同的画风都好爱，尤其是剪纸哼哈将军。给正在长大，又不想长大的每个孩子～
《翼娃子的星期天》
中国首部绘本动画片，冲着首部去看的，总体来说还可以，小孩和成人都能看。电影由7个独立的故事构成，每个故事都传达浓浓的暖意和爱与诚。整体来看，故事的深度是逐渐递进的。第一和第二个故事比较适合小朋友，从第三个故事开始，需要一点理解力了。每个故事都很不错，小火车、哼哈二将、糖水铺、蓝色铁皮箱、翼娃子的故事都很有意思，有感动，有笑意，有创意。没想到现在儿童绘本这么有意思，挺有教育意义。这片子好暖啊～～ 我们需要爱与诚，这样生活/世界才能更好。❤️❤️
儿童动画版《我和我的XX》。虽然水平参差不齐，但还是不缺“王炸”。不管怎么说，有的东西有人在做就挺好。
“从来没想到小小的铁皮柜里，竟然能装下这么多东西。”这句旁白让我瞬间泪崩，对于一个土生土长的河南人来说，这个短片太有亲切感了。而我对外婆的情愫也是这样的，小时候非常亲，反倒越长大越疏远了
小火车不错 我的家也很好 小兔子的丧偶式画面让我感到自己坏掉了
七个故事都非常喜欢，特别喜欢糖水铺，一来是故乡情深，二来是喜欢那种紧密的邻里关系，在我小的时候也是如此，邻里就是一个大家庭，三来就是长大了以后，和蓝色铁皮轮椅一样，千万谨记孝顺趁现在，勿要子欲养！
鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励！
首先感谢毒舌的组织，很棒的一次观影体验！第一次看到绘本以电影的形式出现，很适合带着小朋友观影。七个故事的很好看，最喜欢的是萤火虫女孩，糖水铺，小火车。萤火虫女孩是一趟奇妙旅程，老周师傅幸苦了，画面好舒服。糖水铺的蒯【kuai】老伯，一直为了左邻右里坚持开铺，那种温暖是城市里钢筋水泥的楼房里所没有的。小火车开头有猜测到是截肢，只是没想到结尾的父母做得很棒！哼哈二将以为是神话故事，没想到是双生子的，😊。黄焖鸡米饭一家人开开心心过活每一天，真好。小兔子的问题就像所有小朋友都会问的十万个为什么，好可爱。外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅有点伤感，想起我的曾祖母了 (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
有些东西靠画面和音乐的细节就完全可以表现出来了
几个故事立意很好，是非常适合孩子们的电影，可以知道的人太少了
樊登推荐，专门来看。第一感觉，故事稍微低幼了一些，都是十分简单的故事，更加适合带上小朋友去看。不过后面的两个故事，哼哈二将，还有发生在南京的的故事，稍微好一些了。基本上是复古的动画风格，水墨和油画风，可以看看吧！
这个片名最开始吸引我，是因为它是日本一首小诗的名字，后来程璧把它谱了曲，唱成歌，诗和歌都很温暖。向着明亮那方，和电影的主题和氛围都很契合。故事很平，但很真实让人共鸣，观众在电影里重温着童年，又想起某个相似的人，某句说过的话，甚至某个瞬间，“是了，我也曾经……”，大致很多人都是这样的感受吧。画面不算精良，但让你倍感熟悉，它有时候简单得像你幼时的水彩画，有时候灵巧得像手工课上的剪纸。 第六个故事看哭了，想起小时候暑假寄住外婆家的日子了，这样的电影，真的很容易让大家在别人的故事里流着自己的泪。也挺好的，日子忙碌，我们甚至都很少再想念逝去的日子和人了。
喜欢小火车那个故事，很感人。糖水铺和哼哈二将的故事也很有意思。
喜欢小火车那个故事，很感人。糖水铺和哼哈二将的故事也很有意思。
不论这部影片的票房如何，它始终是迈开了重要的一步，其意义可能在于，国内一场对于动画艺术认知的公开课。短片作者驾驭长片还有一段很长的路要走，作者语言进入公众领域表达还需要通过更多的实践来磨合，但愿有更多的机会给这些作者试炼，中国动画一定会向着明亮那方。
