Burn (2019)



Released August 23rd in the US.
Filmed in New York.
The story: Awkward and strange but considerate and kind, Melinda is a cashier at the 24-hour convenience store/gas station Paradise Pumps.
Shortly after arriving for the night shift, Melinda is informed by her fellow employee brash Sheila, that the cashier who works before her didn't restock or clean the bathrooms.
Melinda agrees to do it with no hesitation.
Actually, anything that goes on or is said to Melinda she addresses with much sensitive sympathy.
Sheila isn't supposed to still be at work, but her boyfriend who picks her up is running late, so she is still there, working with Melinda.
Melinda addresses every customer with kindness, unlike Sheila.
Even the guy who walks in and demands all the cash, holding the girls up at gunpoint gets the nice treatment from Melinda.
But something just isn't right with Melinda. 
She is looking for something.
