Restless is a TV movie from 2012 that takes place during World War II and I believe somewhere around 1976.
A young woman (Michelle Dockery) is given a manuscript by her mother (Charlotte Rampling). In it, her mother reveals she was a British agent during World War II and tells of her adventures and a romance with her handler (Rufus Sewell).
As a result of her last mission, she is convinced that she has finally been found and, the government believing her to be a traitor, is going to kill her. She is desperate to find Rohmer, her old handler, and asks her daughter for help.
I thought this was very intriguing, plus I will watch Rufus Sewell in anything.
Hayley Atwell plays Rampling as a young woman, and she is wonderful in the role, plus perfect for the time period in looks.
The story had some holes in the original book that the script filled. The big problem is, if Rampling thinks she's in danger, what is she doing in the middle of nowhere?
There was another problem- a biggie! Gorgeous James Norton killed off in the first ten minutes!
Despite this, Restless is very absorbing and well done. I thought the '40s atmosphere was fantastic despite some anachronisms.
