After 12 years in Transsilvania, Daka and Silvania have moved to Germany. They are twins and they are half vampires. Now the sisters want to make new friends here in their new hometown, because life is rather strange for them in Germany: how do they use escalators? Why do have human beings school lessons during the daytime? It is not too easy merging in with their classmates and fitting in to a normal "human" every day life.
