The film starts off some time in the mid-90's in a small Texas town near the border of Mexico, where we are introduced to Gina (Kim Basinger), a wife and mother to four children. Gina carries out an affair with a local man named Nick Martinez (Joaquim de Almeida), who also has a family of his own, but unbeknownst to the two, Nick's teenage son Santiago (J.D. Pardo) and Gina's teenage daughter Mariana (Jennifer Lawrence) find out about their love affair, and begin to have a relationship of their own. When the teenagers' romance is unveiled, Mariana believes that their parents' affair should, too, be exposed, so she follows her mother to the Nick's trailer. Knowing the two are inside, Mariana disassembles the gas pipe leading into the trailer, and sets it on fire hoping to smoke the two out to the sight of her. But unfortunately, the two are irresponsive to the fire while making love, and the flames eventually reach a gas tank that causes a fiery explosion, consuming the entire trailer and claiming both Nick and Gina's lives. After their funeral, Mariana becomes aware that she is pregnant with Santiago's daughter. The two flee to Mexico and decide to have the baby there, but after she has conceived their daughter, Mariana escapes to Portland, Oregon and assumes the new name of Sylvia in order to avoid prosecution for her crime.
Over a decade later, Sylvia (now played by Charlize Theron) now works at a restaurant, and has been leading a miserable life ever since her separation from Santiago and their daughter. After an encounter with Carlos (José María Yazpik), one of Santiago's friends, he informs her that Santiago was involved in a serious airplane accident in Mexico while crop dusting, and that he has been raising their daughter Maria (Tessa Ia) there for all these years. Carlos urges Sylvia to pay him a visit. Sylvia struggles with her conscience on whether or not she should revisit her past, but after much contemplating, she realizes her mistakes and regrets abandoning her family. With help from her friend Laura (Robin Tunney), Sylvia is able to reunite with her daughter once again, who Carlos has brought along to Portland. They fly over to Mexico and stay overnight at Carlos' place, where Sylvia apologizes to her daughter for the years she's been absent in her life. The next day, they arrive at the hospital to see Santiago, who is still in a coma from the accident. Sylvia confesses her undying love for him by his bedside, unsure if he will ever wake up again. The doctor reassures them that he will pull through, and the story concludes with the signs of hope for the family. |
