During the summer vacations, the three friends are about to take a trip together to Romania, where they are allowed to complete an internship on the film set of "Dracula Rises", arranged for them by Peter's father, who is responsible for the special effects during the filming. No sooner do they arrive in Transylvania than mysterious events begin to pile up at Countess Codrina's old castle, which serves as the original setting for the film. The three detectives want to find out what all this may have to do with a boy who has been missing for over 50 years, a mysterious brotherhood and an enigmatic undead. Soon, not only the filming and Peter's relationship with his father are at stake, but also the friendship of the three investigators.

AI Analysis
The film operates as a traditional family adventure, leaning heavily into established genre conventions. It prioritizes classic mystery elements and familial stability over the disruption of social hierarchies. While the setting shifts to Romania, the narrative remains rooted in Western-centric storytelling. The focus on patriarchal lineage and traditional archetypes suggests a conservative approach to character dynamics. Ultimately, the production adheres to standard mystery tropes, offering a familiar experience rather than a progressive exploration of identity or diverse social structures.
