His deliciously eccentric film The Story of My Death (winner of the prestigious Golden Leopard prize at the 2013 Locarno Film Festival) imagines a meeting between the ageing Casanova and Count Dracula to chart the collision between the eighteenth century of Enlightenment, rationalism and libertine sensuality and a nineteenth century founded upon Romanticism, obscurantism and violence. "Story of My Death is a singular work, and its originality is apparent in every frame... This is a film of dazzling vitality and animation"  The Village Voice "Story of My Death is a truly esoteric and unique work, something contemporary, yet totally free of constraints of time and space. The trappings might be historical and mythical, but [Serra's] playground is cinematic language" CinemaScope

Historical drama directed by Albert Serra. As his life comes to an end, Giacomo Casanova (Vicenç Altaió) travels to the mountains of Carpathia to seek out young peasant girls with whom he can satisfy his sexual desires. When he arrives, however, he discovers the girls have caught someone else's eye; the vampirical Count Dracula (Eliseu Huertas) also craves the young flesh, but for a very different reason. As the unlikely pair reflect on some of life's little pleasures, they find themselves bonding over their shared interests.
