Film Description

Cambridge don Helen’s (The Crown’s Claire Foy) life is shattered when she loses her adored father, a famous nature photographer (Academy Award nominee Brendan Gleeson). She cannot seem to regain her footing, and decides that she will honour him by training a goshawk that she names Mabel. But is this retreat into seclusion a way for her to move forward or an unhealthy way to avoid accepting her loss? A true story based upon Helen MacDonald’s award-winning memoir.
