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".
超级温暖，之前就看过刘毛宁的作品，很好，童年乡间的画面，可以拿来当壁纸的那种。
太喜欢那个小火车短片了（音效设计很棒）。哼哈二将最后的空间转换也很喜欢（本人真的是时空转换的忠实爱好者( ¨̮ )）。
😭重庆小火车一篇处理得太温柔了，开火车时“隐形”的腿和最终的奔跑。里面的人儿都善良得可贵，农村和小镇被浪漫化，但这是给孩子的故事，是向着明亮那方的，是我们需要寻迹出发的。嗯嗯，人是要和人建立连接的。结束后前排小朋友喊“可以再看一遍吗”，我右边一女孩“妈妈，我也想再看一遍”
里面由好几个故事构成，寓意很深。对《蒯老伯的糖水铺》还有最后一个关于外婆的故事这两个作品印象比较深刻。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》动画转场深得我心，推荐！
最喜欢外婆的铁皮轮椅的画风
带着儿子去看的点映，平时活泼好动的他观影的时候“异常”的安静。影片没有喧嚣的冲突打闹，也没有炫目的跨时空幻想。每个小故事都那么的别出心智，孩子的感受是最真实的。看完之后问我：“妈妈，我以后长大了会不会也像小兔子一样离开你了。”我哽咽了下说：“妈妈会永远陪着你。”
国内首部原创绘本电影，汇集7位年轻动画导演选取和制作的主题不一的故事，以水墨、水彩、剪纸、手绘等各自不同的绘本画风呈现，生动又治愈。虽说是绘本动画，以儿童的视角和口吻叙述，却并不只适合儿童。小孩子看的是故事，成年人看的是回忆，也是童年。七个故事里最感动的是萤火虫女孩、小火车和外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅。萤火虫一章很有宫泽贤治的风格，梦幻唯美，表达出长大的孩子离开家乡后乡土的寂寞。小火车最富文学象征意味，先抑后扬的表现手法令人震撼，乍一看以为小火车是自制交通工具，直到最后才揭晓，令人泪目，这个单元也是最扣题的～而外婆的故事最令我难过。小小的铁皮柜满满当当，铺开后竟就是外婆劳碌而艰辛的一生。看罢潸然泪下，我也想外婆了。糖水铺一章的技巧最精致，虽然画风简单却并不容易造就，精妙的转场体现出导演们精妙心思！
平淡的故事，有一定的想象力，时代感绘画风格，温暖治愈，但还是太平了。
这种风格的电影近几年不多见，故事上我认为后面的跟贴近现实更精彩，第六章外婆的蓝皮轮椅画风特别喜欢。20岁青少年，一对母女，首次发现三线也有艺联影厅，7个温馨的小故事，2022.1.27日
比较喜欢《外婆的蓝色轮椅》和《翼娃子》两个，温情满满，可以看到导演对家庭 童年深深的情怀。
小火车那部分，明知道是怎么回事，看到后面依然会控制不住眼泪
个人觉得这部动画电影还是更适合小孩子观看。最喜欢的一部是火车。一开始我就猜到小男孩是因为地震失去了腿，影片一直借以火车开不动来暗喻这一现实，非常具有浪漫主义。再有他们一家住的铁皮房区和男孩从未露出的腿以及昔日小伙伴的呆滞，都可以反映出此事。我被深深地感触到了。还有广东老伯卖糖水真的很写实，反映了当前老人的无奈。总体来说还不错吧。
这么多故事中，最喜欢的是哼哈二将和蒯老伯的糖水铺。
国内原创绘本动画总体较不错《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》＞《蒯老伯的糖水铺》＞《小火车》=《哼将军与哈将军》=《翼娃子的星期天》＞《萤火虫女孩》＞《小兔的问题》其中🐰那故事实在是太流水账活生生的硬降评分😂
特别棒！难能可贵，7个故事各有特色，充满真诚的力量，生活的感动！
定位到底是什么：有童心的大人还是小朋友
非常少见的题材，由7个独立的小故事组成，以绘本连环画的形式拍摄的动画。一些现实照进童话的故事，非常温暖感人，老少皆宜。
好看，每一个故事都很精彩，画面也很美好，内容很温暖
很新颖的方式，故事也很治愈温馨。哼哈二将最后的反转也很有意思啊！
看到还有在一板一眼做动画的导演，还是很欣喜的。去电影院看了，以后还会继续支持。几个短片重，外婆的故事最戳到我，小火车的整体叙事和手法最成熟，可见功力。大家加油啊！
