Chanya BUTTON 2015 UK Fiction color 106min English DCP
Dan is dead. He was only 29. Alex and Seph loved him like a sibling. And now he's left them his ashes to scatter across the UK, along with elaborate video instructions for doing so. London, Stonehenge, Cardiff, York, Ben Lomond: road trip! Burn Burn Burn is a dark comedy with warmth at its heart. Alex and Seph are in the eye of a storm, with decisions to make in every corner of their lives; and the one helping them make those decisions is dead.
