Suzy and Billy are an unhappy middle-aged couple whose affection has long faded away. Suzy feels used by her careless husband, enslaved by the role of a subordinate housewife. She escapes from her worries and loneliness into addiction of night's gluttony, spending nights next to the kitchen’s refrigerator. However, one night, her depressing fate is going to change thanks to a visit of two female vampires, who become for her a model of the strong, independent, and emancipated woman she always wanted to be.

"Nibbling of the Night" is a women-empowering story and a black comedy with an inspiring moral, which, under a mask of humour, presents the problem of people lacking strength to introduce changes into their life.

The animation includes references to Gothic literature, and all the characters' dialogues are spoken in rhymes similarly to the stage dramas from the Romantic era.
