Aurélie returns from a long trip to find her friends and ex-boyfriend in a cabin full of memories. Her sudden departure has left its mark on their relationship, which was already suffering after their participation in protests and strikes. Following a non-linear structure in which the pieces of the puzzle are revealed through a subjective atmosphere, Burning Away is about young adults dealing with the consequences of their reckless actions, as well as the complexity of reuniting with loved ones.

Grief may be a universal concept, but the journey to get to bluer skies and greener pastures is a uniquely independent experience. The subjects in this collection of narrative short films attempt to carve their own path after loss.
