The trailer for the Brendan Gleeson and Claire Foy-starring H Is for Hawk has been released ahead of the film's arrival in cinemas in January.
H Is for Hawk is the big-screen adaptation of Helen Macdonald's bestselling memoir of the same name.
"When Helen's (Claire Foy) beloved father Alisdair (Brendan Gleeson) passes away, she is knocked sideways by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together," says the synopsis.
"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."
The Crown director Philippa Lowthorpe directs from a screenplay co-written with the Irish author Emma Donoghue, and the cast also includes Gleeson's fellow Irish actor Denise Gough.
H Is for Hawk opens in cinemas on Friday 23 January 2026.
