WILDFIRE
O.V. in English subtitled in Spanish
One day, Kelly knocks on her sister Lauren's door after a year of disappearance. Born barely a year apart and inseparable, the two were known as "the Irish twins". The return of the missing limb Kelly shakes Lauren's life, who has a partner and a steady job, creating an absorbing and complex complicity between them. It is an explosive relationship underpinning issues they will have to face, deep waters under which a stormy family past stirs, stained by the psychological consequences of the violent Northern Irish conflict they grew up with.
