Synopsis:

Sylvia (Charlize Theron) is a beautiful restaurant manager whose cool, professional demeanour masks the sexually-charged storm within. When a stranger from Mexico confronts her with her dark and hidden past, Sylvia is launched into a journey, painfully forcing her to face her demons and the past she thought she had left behind. From the internationally acclaimed writer of Babel, 21 Grams and Amores Perros, and starring Oscar Winners Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, The Burning Plain depicts the harrowing story of a woman on the edge who takes and emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life.

The past and the present have a curious way of effecting one another as several people seperated by time and space are about to discover -- Mariana, a 16-year-old girl trying to put together the shattered lives of her parents in a Mexican border town; Sylvia, a woman in Portland who must undertake an emotional odyssey to burnish a sin from her past; Gina and Nick, a couple who must deal with an intense and clandestine affair; and Maria, a young girl who helps her parents find redemption, forgiveness and love. The five will discover that their actions may mean the difference between life and death as well as their own journeys into seeking redemption...and whether or not they will ever find it.

Connected storylines about love, forgiveness and redemption that take place in different places and times--Mariana, a 16 year old girl tries to put together the shattered lives of her parents in a Mexican border town; Sylvia, a woman in Portland, undertakes an emotional odyssey to redeem a sin from her past; Gina and Nick, a couple who must deal with a clandestine love; and Maria, a young girl who helps her parents find forgiveness.
