I’ve watched the trailer for The Burning Plain twice now, and I still don’t know what it’s about. I do know that it has Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, and an exploding Winnebago. There’s a lot of talk of love followed by exciting action words like “burn” and the music makes the whole thing seem terribly important. Still, I’m clueless so here’s the film’s official plot synopsis, followed by the trailer which you’re free to unravel for yourself. Good luck!

The past and the present have a curious way of effecting one another as several people separated 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.
