Synopsis


Grief takes flight in unexpected ways. From BAFTA Award-winning director Philippa Lowthorpe (Misbehaviour) comes H IS FOR HAWK, a deeply moving adaptation of Helen Macdonald’s award-winning memoir, starring Claire Foy (The Crown) and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin). Following the sudden death of her father, Helen (Foy) retreats from the world, turning to the ancient and demanding practice of falconry in an attempt to navigate her loss. Training a fierce goshawk named Mabel, she immerses herself in the wild, drawn to the bird’s instinct, solitude, and intensity. As Helen’s bond with Mabel deepens, the line between escape and healing begins to blur. What starts as an act of endurance becomes a profound journey through grief, identity, and the fragile process of returning to the world. Joined by Denise Gough, Sam Spruell and Lindsay Duncan, H IS FOR HAWK is a tender, meditative portrait of loss and resilience.
