Paradise Is Burning

Synopsis

"Paradise Is Burning" revolves around three sisters united in a chaotic but loving everyday life without parents. All they need is each other, their friends, and pastimes like breaking into unattended pool villas. But when social services suspect something is wrong, Laura is forced to seek help outside the safety of the pack. The clock is ticking, and it becomes increasingly clear that life is about to change forever, in a world where freedom and despair lie cheek to cheek.
