Atonement

Anchored by moving performances from Boyd Holbrook, Hiam Abbass (also in In a Whisper at LIFF 2026), and Kenneth Branagh, Atonement is a powerfully human story about the immeasurable costs of war, exploring universal questions about guilt, redemption and the nature of forgiveness.

In the early days of the Iraq War, a U.S. Marine’s split-second decision during a firefight devastates an Iraqi family. Years later, haunted by his time in Iraq and aided by a New Yorker journalist, the Marine seeks to reconcile with the surviving family members.
