After the sudden death of her father, Helen loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. The film is based on the memoirs of Helen MacDonald, and details how she saves herself from her grief by a unlikely friendship with a stubborn goshawk named Mabel. She starts training Mabel in the art of falconry, and as she teaches her to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance, transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.
