[1] Reima Elo, the last local communist with a reputation as a village madman, lives in a constant cycle of failure.

One evening, when Reima is about to commit suicide by hanging, a man mistakenly resembling Lenin, who introduces himself as Vladimir, arrives at his house as a tenant.

Reima begins to believe that Vladimir has indeed come back to life as Lenin, but only in the form of a vampire.

This gives Reima a new lease of life and he decides to join Vladimir in a desperate fight against capitalism to spread the glory of communism.
