Navas (Alberto Ammann, Cell 211, SFF11) is a brutish thug who races cars illegally, and robs the houses of the wealthy, using his girlfriend Ari (Adriana Ugarte) as bait for the male owners. But Ari wants out of the business.

The plan for their big final hit is to rob the store of jewelry heiress Julia (Maria Castro), by seducing her fiancé, former racing driver Mikel (a very handsome Álex González, Xmen: First Class, Scorpion in Love, SFF14). Ari mesmerizes Mikel while posing as a waitress at his engagement party.

Despite Mikel’s attempts to keep his ill-timed infatuation in check, fate throws them together and Mikel experiences the most passionate night of his life. By the time he uncovers Ari and Navas’ elaborate plan, it is too late - he has fallen in love with Ari and the fascinating world of illegal car races. Now Mikel will be forced to decide between a life of passion and risk, and a life of comfort and security.

A “The Fast and the Furious” style car-chase film underscored by a passionate love triangle; Combustion will entangle audiences in its menagerie of luxury cars and beautiful people with Hollywood production values that cast Madrid in an irresistibly glamorous and fast-paced light.
