Plenty (1985): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Susan Traherne, a British woman whose life threads through the backdrop of World War II and its aftermath, begins as a determined courier whose work draws her into the secrecy and danger of resistance circuits. In 1943, she waits in the woods for a message to be dropped by parachute when Lazar Sam Neill parachutes down after aircraft trouble. They manage to slip away from German troops, and in the shelter of that tense night, Susan opens up emotionally to Lazar. They share a passionate night, but come morning he leaves abruptly after a warning he receives over his wireless to “move on.” Before he goes, he leaves her a pair of cufflinks as a bittersweet keepsake, a small memento of the connection they forged under pressure and peril.
