TIPTOPSTARS

Tommy Germain again! He is one of the Cameroonians making headlines in Brazil in the domain of showbiz and precisely in film making. Many are those who fell in love with this fast-rising artist when they read us in an exclusive with Germain in the first quarter of 2011. The young Cameroonian has not been lying on his laurels. Rather, he has been making greater strides. This time he has featured in a film recently produced and coming up soon on Brazilian TV. While Brazilians and Cameroonian fans of Germain await the film, TIPTOPSTARS takes a look at the story.

Um Vampiro Na Terra De Sol (A Vampire in the Land of Sun) tells the story of the return of a vampire in the land of sunshine. It is a revealing movie on the variety of customs and Christianity in the poverty-stricken Northeast region of Brazil. Above all, the movie highlights the sense of humour in the daily lives of the people of Alagoinha, the centre of attraction.

Count Brocoió (Vinicio Leal) is about to complete 300 years. Killed in 1800 by Colonel Ignatius Bozo (Jose Rodriguez), 211 years later in 2011, two thieves Pito (José Silvio) and Quinca (Evaldo Andrade) will steal the wiring from a cemetery and end up exhuming Count Brocoió who upon waking wants revenge and the piece of gold that was stolen by thieves.

Colonel Bozo (Jose Rodriguez), one of the greatest moral authorities of the city learning of what happened will try to get answers. Pito, protagonist of the film, lousy, lazy, bastard is scared of the death of the Count because he is stuck with his gold. Events unfold rapidly - China joined hands with his friend (Tommy Germain) - the city gets a mysterious woman (Dayanne Sena) beautiful, very attractive - Ze Pe de Cana (Antonio Carlos), a drunk raconteur who assumes the post of sheriff after the disappearance of the delegate (Jonathan Weiner) who leaves the city after discovering that there is  a vampire on the loose.
Shot in the small town of Alagoinha, Um Vampiro Na Terra De Sol (A Vampire in the Land of Sun) is said to be the best comedy of all time.
