Burning Betrayal

🎥 Plot Overview

The drama film Burning Betrayal follows the life of Bárbara “Babi” Nucci who is a meticulous and career-driven accountant whose life takes a downward spiral after her fiancé, Caio, betrays her trust. Steering clear from motives that heal, Babi embarks on a journey that forces her to rediscover her true self.

It is evident that she transforms by cutting off ties with her previous self—reviving hobbies she had abandoned, and even joining a bikers’ club strengthening women’s presence. It is in this world of new-found audacity that she meets Marco Ladeia, an enigmatic and domineering judge who awakens a version of her that she didn’t know existed.

With their relationship becoming hotter intellectually and physically simultaneously, Babi gets captured in the web of self obsession, seduction, and peril.
