This work presents a meeting of the figure of the 'Upiór' — a blood sucking representative of Eastern mythology, with the Vampire — a representative of Anglo-Saxon and Western culture. The setting of their meeting is a Ukrainian field that has suffered from aerial bombardment. In the foreground, however, there is a scene of haggling, the purchase of a serf by a landowner.
