Kali the Little Vampire
Description
He lives in the shadows. The one who inspires fear. Other
children don’t even dream that he exists. But the young vampire Kali does
exist, and suffers from not being able to live in the light. One day, while
once again watching the other young boys play beside the train tracks, he
breaks from his isolation and discovers that because of who—and what—he is, he
can make a difference in others’ lives. In a narration masterfully voiced by
Oscar winner Christopher Plummer, Kali, now an old man, remembers the day he
finally made peace with himself. After having dealt with a young girl’s fear
in A Noite (1999) and the discomfort experienced by others in Tragic
Story with Happy Ending (2005), Regina Pessoa concludes her trilogy on
childhood by following a child’s path to self-acceptance. A poetic and
beautiful tale, Kali the Little Vampire is a reminder that there is a
place for every one of us under the sun. Even for the creatures of the night.
