Here is “The Burning Plain” plot description:

“The Burning Plain” is a romantic mystery about a woman on the edge who takes an emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life. Oscar-winner Charlize Theron plays Sylvia: a beautiful restaurant manager whose cool and professional demeanor masks a sexually charged storm within.

When a stranger from Mexico confronts her with her mysterious past, Sylvia is launched into a journey through space and time that inextricably connects her to these disparate characters – all of whom are grappling with their own romantic destinies.

In Mexico, a young and motherless girl named Maria (Tessa Ia) lives happily with her father and his best friend until a tragic accident changes it all. In the New Mexico border town of Las Cruces, two teenagers named Mariana (Jennifer Lawrence) and Santiago (J.D. Pardo) find love in the aftermath of their parents’ sudden deaths.

In an abandoned trailer, a housewife named Gina (Oscar-winner Kim Basinger) embarks on a passionate affair that will put Sylvia and the others on a collision course with the explosive power of forbidden love.

The Burning Plain

To fulfill a romantic desire I went for the direct approach and told him that I was interested and I made the plans to get together. I wasn’t willing to risk waiting for him to do something or realize on his own that I was interested.

To fulfill a burning romantic desire

I guess I’m going to have to go back to grade school for this one…remember the game Mortal Kombat? My true love, a fifth grader, was obsessed with it. So, I being a self-proclaimed pacifist fourth-grader, abandoned my peaceful views and started playing Mortal Kombat. I hung out at the arcade, interviewed players for their tips and tricks, and then wrote them down and gave them to my love at recess. Oh the pleasures of unrequited schoolyard love.

I once rode a greyhound for 12 hrs in an uncomfortable seat with screaming babies to see the man who made my blood boil with passion

What I did to fulfill a burning romantic desire...

I’d met this wonderful woman who was in Chicago for a conference for a weekend, and needed a friendly (male-only) tour-guide. We hit it off in every way, and she and I continue talking and chatting. I realized that I wanted to see her again, and she really wanted to see me again, so I found a guy who was going to (near) where she lives (Alabama). I hopped a ride with him, splitting the gas, and took my bicycle until I was close enough to ride my bike for a few hours to her house. I was exhausted by the time I got there, but we were both invigorated AND exhausted by the end of the weekend. :-)

To fulfill a burning romantic desire

To fulfill a burning romantic desire I shamelessly showed up wherever I knew “he” would be and insinuated myself into his life. Familiarity in that instance paid off.

Back in high school, a girl

Back in high school, a girl I liked was enamored with guys who had pierced ears, so I let her take me to get mine done thinking she would find my edgy side attractive and go out with me. She had moved on inside of a month. I still have the holes.
