The Fire
(El incendio)
Juan Schitman | Drama, Fiction
2015 | 95 minutes | Argentina
A couple withdraw a hundred thousand dollars in cash from their bank to close on their first home. The sale's postponement uncovers the nature of their love as well as their crisis.
Synopsis
Lucia and Marcelo, a couple in their thirties, are about to move into the apartment they have just bought. But the real estate agent delays the time for handing over the keys. This unexpected small change will be the trigger for the couple to live their most intense 24 hours: arguments, mistrust, longings, doubts, sex, violence and tenderness burst, without apparent order, in the fraction of love they have left. An intense and accurate radiography, with high voltage performances.
