As the boundaries between the living and the dead blur, Irène’s denial navigates through the five stages of grief, ultimately confronting her profound anguish and sorrow.

"Deze kortfilm brengt op uiterst sfeervolle manier de verschillende stadia van rouw, dit door middel van Irène welke haar trauma probeert te verwerken nadat ze haar vrouw vroegtijdig moest afgeven. Verdriet, angst, woede, waanzin... Alle emoties krijgen een gezicht door de sterke lead in deze drama-psychologische horror hybride. Knap!" - Belgica Obscura
"The restaurant scene and the final scene just...oof. That's a very specific, palpable type of grief. This one punches you in the gut, but in a good way, if that makes sense. Like, this is film." - Damien
"It Burns engages the viewer in the experience of grief and clearly provides an intimate sharing of this human experience for so many"
"There is much to admire about this short film. The filmmakers successfully transfer the tone from creepy, solemn, dark humor, and tragedy with engrossing appeal. I loved following this character’s point of view through her story."
"Thank you for this somber look at the survivors left behind after the suicide of a loved one."
