1 Oscar Award, 6 Oscar Nominations!!! In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling
writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of
wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of
the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse
atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (James
McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch
for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley).
Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one
spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony - who has
a crush on Robbie - is compelled to interfere, going so far as
accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie
declare their love for each other, but he is arrested - and with
Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed
forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood
misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she
finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of
the power of enduring love.
