Plot

Set against the backdrop of Argentina in 1965, 'Burnt Money' spins a riveting tale of love, betrayal, and crime that is rooted in the notorious annals of Argentinian history. The plot weaves around the tempestuous relationship between two men, Nene and Angel, who, despite their uncanny resemblance, are not siblings but lovers entwined in an intense homosexual relationship. Known widely as "the twins," they embark on a ruthless journey of bank robberies, painting the towns of Argentina and Uruguay with a two-month long reign of terror. Their audacious exploits take a turn when a large-scale hold-up goes awry, leaving Angel injured and forcing the trio, including their partner-in-crime Cuervo, to seek refuge across the border in Uruguay. With their return hinging on the crafty Fontana arranging for passports, they are forced to lay low. However, restlessness creeps in and Cuervo breaks the curfew for a night of revelry, soon followed by Nene and Angel. The night takes a tumultuous turn when Nene encounters a prostitute, Giselle, and Angel gets embroiled in a brawl. The fallout pushes them to abandon their hideout, and in a twist of fate, they move in with Giselle. But the sizzling attraction between Nene and Angel proves too potent, sparking hostilities that lead to Giselle's expulsion and subsequent betrayal. As Giselle turns informant, the law closes in on them, and their refuge becomes a trap. As the police surround their sanctuary, the fate of the fiery lovers hangs in the balance. 'Burnt Money' is a thrilling rollercoaster ride through passion and crime, capturing the exploits of these infamous lovers and the red-hot flame that both unites and destroys them. It's a vivid recreation of a legendary tale that held two nations hostage, making it a must-watch for those intrigued by the darker shades of love and crime.
