On
September 28, 1965, three men held up an armored car in Buenos Aires.
After killing the guards, the men escaped with moneyand weapons
to lie low in Montevideo, Uruguay. Apparently two of the robbers
were gay, but legend has it that their passion for each other was
unable to withstand the tension of the heist, and one of them locked
himself in his room to read the Bible, while his partner roamed
the streets of Montevideo in search of anonymous encounters with
men and women. Eventually, a tip-off alerted the police that the
three were hiding out in an apartment.
Based on the true story and with a stellar performance by Eduardo
Noriega (Abre losojos "Open Your Eyes"), Burnt Money turns a potent
mix of doomed lovers, sizzling sexual tension and smoldering violence
into a tragic but uncompromisingly hot romance.
