Directed by Diego Freitas, and adapted from Sue Hecker’s novel O Lado Bom De Ser Traída (which roughly translates as: The Good Side of Being Betrayed), the Brazilian film Burning Betrayal is a stylish thriller driven by a bold sexual adventure — think Fifty Shades of Grey and Sex/Life.
What’s Burning Betrayal about?
“Burning Betrayal,” based on the hit novel of the same name by Sue Hecker (the pseudonym of author Débora Gimenez), revolves around Babi (Giovanna Lancellotti), who, after discovering her fiancé’s infidelity, decides to turn her life around. She embarks on a passionate affair with Marco (Leandro Lima), an irresistibly sexy judge with secrets waiting to be revealed. But this new romance may prove far more dangerous than Babi could have imagined.
