Netflix has released an intense thriller, Firebreak. An emotionally tense film that starts off as a survival thriller but quickly reveals itself to be much more complex. The film keeps you on your toes as it explores the impact of loss on perception. The movie does not give all the answers, at least not clear ones. So, by the time you are done with the movie, it is more than a typical thriller.
Firebreak plot revolves around a grieving mother
The movie focuses on the tale of ‘Mara’, a grieving mother who heads to a remote forest cabin with her younger daughter, ‘Lide’, and extended family, including ‘Luis’, ‘Elena’, and their son, ‘Dani’. It’s meant to be a quiet farewell to a place filled with memories. However, things go south when ‘Lide’ goes missing just as wildfire begins to threaten the area and ‘Mara’ refuses to leave without her.
