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 tradition—training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel 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.

00:08Dad, I just saw a pair of forks. A pair? Yeah, they were sort of gliding around each other. Beautiful.
00:14My dad, he was a quiet man with a camera. Watch carefully so you remember what you've seen. And he was the only person who understood me.
00:24And now he's gone. I miss him terribly.

01:30Don't be so hard on yourself. It's just working out your place in the world.
01:37I always thought Dad taught me to be detached.
01:40But being with Mabel, it's an honest encounter with life.
01:46And now I see how engaged with life Dad was.
