The Burning Plain follows the story of several people separated by time and space - Sylvia (Charlize Theron), a woman who must undertake an emotional odyssey to rid herself of her past; Mariana (Jennifer Lawrence), a teenager trying to piece together the shattered lives of her family in New Mexico border town; Maria, a little girl who goes on a border‐crossing voyage to find redemption, forgiveness, and love; and Gina (Kim Basinger), a woman who must deal with an intense and clandestine affair.
