After losing her father, Helen finds herself saved by an unlikely friendship with a stubborn hawk named Mabel.

When her beloved father passes away, Helen is knocked sideways by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to her life as a graduate fellow at Cambridge.

Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. But as she labours to tame Mabel, a grieving Helen undergoes an untaming of her own. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

British drama based on the 2014 best-selling memoir by Helen MacDonald, directed by Philippa Lowthorpe and starring Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Denise Gough and Lindsay Duncan.
