“Fire will attract more attention than any other cry for help,” says Jean Michel Basquiat. Bruno, a misunderstood teenager, has developed an obsession for burning objects, recording them and uploading the videos to the internet as a way of dealing with his father’s death. When his lonely mother starts dating another man, Bruno escapes from home and goes to another town to live with Daniela, a young pyromaniac that he met online, and with whom has an epistolary relationship. The painful separation with his mother and his best friend Ian makes him question his sexuality and his capacity to overcome the loss of his father.
