Our take

Perhaps one of the most intoxicating portraits of the “neither with nor without you” romantic scenario, The Fire is a tale of self-destructive love taking place over the course of 24 hours in Buenos Aires, in which every instant is filled with the utmost intensity and passion. Entrancing.
