Atonement 2007

Set in 1935, on a hot day, 13-year-old Briony Tallis sees something she shouldn't see in the wrong place at the wrong time, and this is etched into her brain for the rest of her life. She witnesses the secret lovemaking between Robbie, the son of one of the maids, and her older sister, Cecilia. The things he sees at a young age lead to some things he will misinterpret in his mind over the years... The Oscar-winning Redemption film directed by Joe Wright and adapted from Ian McEwan's novel stars successful names such as Keira Knightley, James McAvoy and Brenda Blethyn.
