Burning Flames
We are in an ordinary city of our era, where four individuals lead seemingly normal lives—people
integrated into society through their jobs, appearing conventional but, in reality, bound by an invisible
thread of sin and darkness.
The first protagonist is an industrial magnate who has engaged in corruption and all kinds of
wrongdoing, ruining the lives of others to achieve his objectives. The second protagonist is an
arrogant and corrupt politician who has sold his soul for power, betraying anyone in his way to reach
success. The third protagonist is an athlete who, determined to win at all costs, has not played by
the rules. In fact, he has rigged bets and destroyed the careers of other athletes who, unlike him,
respected the integrity of the system. The fourth protagonist is a handsome and confident bartender
who attracts young women into his home but does not respect them.
The stories of the four protagonists intertwine through a series of events. Throughout the script,
each character faces his sins, showing no remorse, on the contrary, he finds a twisted sense of
justification in his actions. Occasionally, mysterious occurrences take place, but the sinners pay
them little attention. Whenever they commit a sinful act, they witness brief and unsettling signs of
various kinds: a haunting voice whispering in the air, a fire igniting without reason, visions of
shadowy figures-ominous foreshadowings of what is soon to come. One day, the four sinners
receive a mysterious invitation and make their way to an old house in the city center. Upon arriving
at the designated address, they step into the abandoned mansion, questioning who invited them and
what purpose they serve in this place. As they open a door, a faint light seeps through its gaps.
Suddenly, a supernatural occurrence, like a space-time portal, sucks them into a desert valley. In
this valley, three of the four sinners find themselves in chains, alongside a long procession of
damned souls being driven in a single direction. The magnate, however, is inside a carriage,
escorted by a demon. The procession of sinners is led by guardians mounted on infernal horses that
spew fire. Slowly, the line of souls traverses a vast canyon until they reach the sea. All the damned
souls are gathered on a massive beach and loaded onto ships helmed by demons. The ships set
sail toward their unknown destination; no one understands what is happening, but the vessel moves
into the stormy open sea. At one moment, the sea calms, and a delicate, quiet light appears. It is the
final chance for the few lost souls who have recognized their mistakes in life and repented to obtain
redemption. A handful among the countless souls aboard ascend toward the heavens. Shortly after,
the wind intensifies, the storm grows even more violent, and the sea turns ever more turbulent. The
ship sails on until an immense vortex drags it down into the underworld. After passing through the
dwelling of the Devil himself, the damned souls are led into their respective infernal circles, where
demons will inflict upon them the torments of Hell. Among the damned, however, one of the four
sinners, the magnate, is unexpectedly revealed to transform into a demon. He was the true
mastermind all along, the one who had orchestrated a diabolical plan to lead the other three
unfortunate souls down the path of perdition. The three sinners struggle in vain to free themselves
from their chains, but they remain trapped in the infernal realm, where the demon, laughing,
condemns them to eternal torture.
