Plenty

In 1943, Susan Traherne, a British wartime courier, waits in the woods for a parachuted message. Lazar lands after an engine trouble, and the two evade German troops together, forming an immediate bond under pressure. The dangerous mission awakens Susan's longing for meaning, risk, and connection beyond her official duties.

That night, Susan and Lazar share an intimate connection. In the early hours, a wireless warning forces Lazar to move on and leave at dawn. As he departs, he leaves Susan a pair of cufflinks as a memory of their night together.

Two years later, Susan is with Tony Radley when he dies suddenly of a heart attack. Raymond Brock from the British Embassy arrives to console her. She confesses that she and Radley were not truly married, asks him to inform Radley's real wife, and begins a relationship with Brock while taking a clerical job and living with her friend Alice.

In 1953, Susan works for Queen Elizabeth's coronation committee. She asks Alice's former boyfriend Mick to father her child, but he hesitates because she wants to raise the child alone. After an attempt to conceive fails, the relationship ends in a heated confrontation where she fires a gun above Mick's head.

Following a nervous breakdown, Raymond visits Susan in hospital and they eventually marry. Despite their comfortable lifestyle, Susan remains deeply unsatisfied with her life and the choices she has made, hinting at a restless inner world beneath the surface.

In 1956, Susan's erratic behavior disrupts a dinner party, embarrassing Raymond and their guests. Around the same time, Sir Leonard Darwin announces his resignation due to the political upheaval surrounding the Suez Crisis, marking a turning point in their social circle.

A few years later, Susan and Raymond are living in Jordan where Raymond has a diplomatic post. Alice visits and notices Susan's subdued demeanor. Susan later returns to England for Sir Leonard Darwin's funeral, provoking Raymond's anger over her disconnection from their current life.

In 1962, Susan confronts Sir Andrew Charleson about Raymond's stagnant career, threatening suicide if he is not promoted. The confrontation results in Charleson's dismissal and Raymond's early retirement, altering the dynamic of their marriage.

Back home, Susan argues with Raymond and leaves after he is knocked unconscious. The rift exposes the fragility of their marriage and Susan's escalating restlessness, pushing her toward further upheaval.

Susan rekindles her affair with Lazar, meeting him at a seaside hotel. They share a night together, but she reveals her persistent mental instability. When Lazar leaves, he discovers the cufflinks he gave her years earlier, tying their fates together once more.

In the final scene, Susan recalls her idealistic youth in the French countryside after the war. She chats with a local farmer and agrees to attend a party with his family to celebrate the end of the conflict, oddly proclaiming that there will be many more days like this to come.
