Despite reports that audiences are losing interest in sex scenes, the Netflix viewership charts are preaching the opposite. A Brazilian erotic thriller called "Burning Betrayal" recently hit the streaming platform, and is popping up on the top 10 charts across the globe. Perhaps it's the result of "Fair Play" dominating the charts at the end of September 2023, motivating viewers to look for even more tantalizing thrills. "Burning Betrayal" more than delivers on eroticism, as the first five minutes of the film boldly features graphic sex scenes, presented in a way that tricks the brain into thinking they might not be simulated.
Directed by Diego Freitas ("Beyond the Universe") and adapted from Sue Hecker's novel "O Lado Bom de Ser Traída" (rough translation: "The Good Side of Being Betrayed"), the film follows Babi (Giovanna Lancellotti), a successful accountant soon to be married, but feeling like she hasn't yet lived her life.

“Burning Betrayal” is a Brazilian movie directed by Diego Freitas and written by Sue Hecker. It stars Giovanna Lancellotti and Leandro Lima.
Do you fancy an erotic thriller? This movie has a bit of both, without leaning excessively on the erotic element – though, it does have its spicy scenes – nor being tremendously suspenseful to qualify as a great thriller. Its peculiarity lies on its comedic touch, bringing about a combination that is quite entertaining. We don’t know which side outweighs the other.
Plot
Babi has a perfect life and has carefully prepared for adulthood, leaving behind her beloved motorcycle and her youthful life. All for a guy, a young and handsome lawyer. Unfortunately, Babi discovers his infidelity and, naturally, gets angry.
