They eventually get a visit from Eve's irresponsible sister (Mia Wasikowska), who irritates Adam and eventually causes trouble with the one human – the vampires refer to the living as zombies – with whom the depressed music hero gets along. Only Lovers Left Alive screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
