Synopsis of Burning Body

In May 2017, the body of Pedro, a police officer, is found burned inside a car in the Foix reservoir in Barcelona. Inspector Ester Varona takes over the investigation, which soon uncovers a web of toxic relationships, lies, violence and sex scandals. At the center are Pedro and two of his colleagues: his partner, Rosa, and Albert, her ex-boyfriend. Created by Laura Sarmiento for Netflix and produced by Arcadia Motion Pictures, the series is a thriller miniseries starring Úrsula Corberó, Quim Gutiérrez and José Manuel Poga. It loosely draws on the Guardia Urbana case, a real-life crime that shook the Catalan police force.
