Desejo e Reparação

In 1935, on the hottest day of the year in England, Briony Talles (Romola Garai) and her family get together for a weekend at the family mansion. The political moment is of tension, due to the 2nd World War. Amid the oppressive heat old family resentments emerge. Five years earlier, Briony, then aged 13, uses her imagination as a fledgling writer to accuse Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the son of the caretaker and lover of his older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley), of a crime he did not commit. . The charge at the time destroyed her sister's love and dramatically altered several lives.
