Firebreak is a 2026 Spanish drama-thriller directed by David Victori, following a mother's desperate race against a wildfire to find her missing daughter in a remote forest — a tightly wound survival story driven by raw parental fear and the merciless pace of encroaching flames.

What is Firebreak about?

When young Lide wanders off into dense woodland as her family is in the middle of moving out of their home, what begins as a moment of childhood curiosity turns into every parent's worst nightmare. A wildfire ignites without warning, cutting off escape routes and consuming the forest with terrifying speed. Her mother refuses to leave without her, pushing into the smoke and heat despite the mounting danger. With time running out and communication severed, the film tracks her frantic search through deteriorating conditions — testing how far a parent will go when everything around them is burning down.

Cast & crew

Director David Victori brings a taut, visceral style to the material, keeping the camera close to the physical and emotional strain on screen. Belén Cuesta leads as the mother, delivering a performance grounded in urgency and grief. The supporting cast, including Enric Auquer, Candela Martínez, and Joaquín Furriel, fill out the family and emergency response world around her without pulling focus from the central chase.

Context & significance

Wildfire disaster thrillers have found a broad international audience in recent years, and Firebreak arrives on Netflix as a Spanish-language entry in that tradition — produced in the same country that gave viewers the original Money Heist phenomenon. For Persian-speaking diaspora viewers who enjoy intense survival drama with strong family stakes, the film offers a compact, emotionally driven experience. It is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub and Persian subtitles, making it accessible whether you prefer to watch in your first language or follow along in Farsi while hearing the original Spanish.
