Evan's (Lou Taylor Pucci) mother has just died, then he loses his job, shows up on a bully's hitlist, the police are after him for a minor altercation ... so Evan just decides to skip his old life and travel off to Italy, and after a few days of crossing the country with two hard-drinking Brits, he ends up in a small coastal town as a farmhand to an old and friendly farmer (Freancesco Carnelutti) ... and somehow he runs across Louise (Nadia Hilker), the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, and he falls head over heels in love with her - but at first, she's only ok with having sex with him, and only gradually lets him into her life more and more - but she has something to hide, too, namely that she at times turns into a creature who has to feed on blood (animal blood mostly, but sometimes out of necessity she has to feed on humans too), and the shots she's taking against this condition seem to work less and less. And then all of a sudden, Louise dumps Evan without giving him a reason, and he's heartbroken ... but when he later drops by her place and finds her half mutated into a tentacled monster that attacks him yet manages to administer one of her shots just in time, she lets him into her life again and tells him she's a 2000 year old shapeshifting creature who's reborn as herself every 20 years, but needs human sperm to do so - and initially she only needed him as sperm donor, but grew too fond of him - and that's a threat for her because legend has it that when she falls truly in love she will not be reborn as herself but remain human until her death (and she fancied herself immortal) and give birth to a creature like she is. Now she wants to push Evan away again as she's to be reborn in a mere day, but he persuades her to go on a roadtrip with him instead ... even if that could mean his death during her reincarnation process - but it could also mean she could remain his for a lifetime ...

 

Spring is based on a weird concept - basically, it's Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise retold as a creature feature ... and to a point that works even, as a morbid romance story or a modern fairy tale. Plus the two leads do their job well and show genuine chemistry, the directorial effort is atmospheric enough to bring across scenes of romance and threat alike, and the locations are simply wonderful. The problem with the film though it, it's about half an hour too long, and thus a tad too talky and too adamant to hammer its points home, plus the ending is a bit too saccharine. So basically, not a perfect movie, but one with a lot going for it nevertheless.
