Storyline: H is for Hawk follows Helen (Foy), who, after the sudden death of her
father (Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring
the natural world together and turns the ancient art of falconry-rooted in European

But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she
