Daydreamers (Vietnamese title: Người Mặt Trời) is a groundbreaking supernatural thriller that reimagines vampire lore within the context of Southeast Asia. Set in modern-day Saigon, the film follows Nhat, a young vampire raised in a secluded riverboat community that suppresses its thirst for human blood in hopes of regaining lost humanity. When his estranged brother Marco returns with tales of vampires thriving among humans, Nhat is drawn into a dangerous world that tests his loyalty, beliefs, and survival. His fate takes a turn when he meets Ha, a rebellious schoolgirl who uncovers his secret—forcing Nhat to break vampire law in an act of forbidden protection. As Trieu, a ruthless vampire queen, orders their execution, the city erupts into chaos, setting the stage for a final battle between brothers—one embracing the monster within, the other fighting to hold onto his last shred of humanity.
