Chronicling
the true story of Helen Macdonald (Claire Foy), who loses her
well-regarded photojournalist father (Brendan Gleeson) to a heart
attack, this film sees Helen find unexpected comfort in the feathery

the grieving process and her unique bond with Mabel reintroduces her
to the beauty of life and the natural world.
