Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
亲情类的影片基本都是在我泪点上蹦迪这部也不意外，但三个老公人设过于理想化，现实生活中哪来这么好的人。而且最后女主婚礼那段好尬啊，片尾女主姓氏不断变化知道监督想传达什么，但总有点奇怪靠姓氏不断变化在表达爱的接力棒传递么？那女主自我呢，当然好像跟本人要表达的没什么关系。
女主是幸运还是不幸呢。是幸运吧
正儿八经一部治愈系的生活片，每个人物身上都闪现着良善人性的光辉；大家都围绕着一个小女生释放爱心，为她的生活营造温馨的氛围，不论小女生辗转几个环境，遇到何种人物——岂不是小女生几辈修来的福分都转到了这一世，看得好生让我羡慕。话说，石原还是那么惹人爱…🥃
可惜了这么好阵容 剧本配不上。
连着两周、看了两遍！哭了两遍！近两年、我心目中的第一～从毕业典礼一直哭到结尾～是全场哭声大到前三～一直哭～哭到忘我～太太太感动了～超越血缘的亲情～补充：截止到昨天，我在TOHO看了五遍！！優子是幸福的，即便她有三个爸爸、两个妈妈～大家都给了足够的安全感与爱～特别是最后田中圭这个爸爸～爱到骨子里、每一次细节、每一次的便当～治愈又温情的故事～
3心给几位大卡 可惜了几位演员 前半部分看得怀疑人生 （脱离现实！没有逻辑）后面直接拖拉跳过
前半段4星好温暖后半段2星毫无逻辑，综合7.5分，全剧最喜欢的是毕业钢琴那段，仙女落泪，以及咩酱和十元太美了
关于人体克隆的科幻影视中，这个是非常独特的好的创意了！
随着时间的不断，还是带着感情的电影让人满意
断网第三天，还没修好，流量用的我心疼。20g原来这么快。
最后竟然体会出了一种被不同男人接管一生的感觉…这三观拍的真是…倒是有一句赞同的话：不是孩子需要父母，而是父母需要被孩子治愈吧～
很久没看日影了 剧情就不做评价啦 看完内心变得平静了 还是好喜欢日式风格和料理 想住进原木风的家哈哈哈哈。（真的不是正经影评）
豪华卡司 期待一个。呃到一半过后才发觉小女孩是女主。。。。剧情什么的就是为煽情而煽情，最后妈妈去世也在预料之中……所以说，不能太期待
在看之前 没有看评分 如果看评分 可能就不会看了吧 但是看完这部电影 我又重新刷新了对电影的评分标准 剧情你说狗血 是真的蛮狗血 但是我还是哭的稀里哗啦 虽然也有我自己哭点低的原因 但是真的不能单单因为这个原因就去说一部电影不好 即使是这样 我还是被感动了 不是吗 而且从中还是能感觉到电影的用心的 所以我不会打低分 谢谢这两个小时 让我把过去一周憋在心里的眼泪 一下子全部哭出来😭
电影赢在颜值服装和滤镜，输在剧情没有逻辑，离谱又刻意没有代入感
果然是爱的接力棒，剧中全是圣母、圣父，只能说算是一个成人童话故事。
故事结构清奇，但是逻辑和情感交接有硬伤，日影的通病
电影关于三个爸爸的主线比较完整，个人觉得有些部分(比如优子和早瀬的感情线、家人起初反对最后又很自然地同意结婚、以及梨花妈妈心路历程等等)有点不太合理。一部温暖有爱的电影，永野芽郁演得很棒。虽然名为爱的接力棒，但是看完会觉得展现了一个爱的乌托邦，温暖有爱但现实中不太可能全部发生。
6分。剧情太乏味，要不是为了看十元和咩酱。。
人物塑造得不合理了，但这种叙事方式有丶意思，看一半突然意识到这是同个人hhh。十元的角色能钓这么多就老公太离谱了，结尾就嗯催泪三十分钟，这段的多人对话拍得不是很好(๑ت๑)
