In this incendiary portrait of a lady on fire from acclaimed filmmaker Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Neruda) and actor Gael García Bernal (Y tu mamá también), a woman sets out on an odyssey of personal liberation after a terrible accident fractures her family and her marriage. Set in Chile, adoptive parents Ema (Mariana Di Girolamo) and Gastón (García Bernal) are artistic free spirits in an experimental dance troupe whose lives are suddenly thrown into chaos when their son is involved in a shockingly violent incident. As her marriage crumbles in the wake of their decision to abandon their child, Ema embarks on a risky quest of self-discovery as she electrifies everyone and everything around her.
