When aspiring writer Jong-su reunites with a mysterious childhood acquaintance, Hae-mi, he’s drawn into a tense and enigmatic triangle with her wealthy and unsettling new friend, Ben. As Hae-mi suddenly vanishes, Jong-su becomes consumed by suspicion and obsession, leading him into a psychological spiral that blurs the line between reality and illusion. Lee Chang-dong’s Burning is a slow-burning thriller that masterfully explores themes of class, alienation, and hidden rage in contemporary Korea.
