Today's protagonist, Briony, witnesses that her older sister is in love with a man who is the housekeeper's son.

And because she liked that son, a seed of jealousy bloomed in Briony's heart.

The culprit was separate, and Briony did not even see the culprit, but she was blinded by jealousy and told her that the maid's son was the culprit. In the end, her sister's beloved ended up in prison.

Through the movie, we can see Briony's atonement for ruining the lives of two people because of a moment's lie, and how much that is nothing more than self-justification disguised as her own selfishness.
