Quique, a jobless artist from the Carnival of Cadiz, has a huge life-twist when he begins to work in the biggest impounded drug warehouse in Andalucía, Spain. El Tuti, a local dealer and Quique’s friend, is planning to steal the merchandise before the warehouse’s opening and consequent burning of the drug. He wants Quique to be his man on the inside. But it all gets messy with the intervention of The Gallego’s gang, a group of robbers that are also part of this plan.
“The Burning” is a powerful mix of comedy and thriller that takes place in Cadiz (Spain) and shows its famous Carnival on screen for the very first time. A brand-new movie from the acclaimed Spanish director Fernando Colomo.
