Stratford-Upon-Avon, late 16th century. Young Agnes and William - she a healer, he a writer - fall head over heels for each other, despite the different worlds in which they grew up and their diverging characters. When fate strikes, their built-up life is completely turned upside down.
Their all-encompassing grief finds a way into art. Wanneer Will leaves to work in the London theater world, one of his greatest works arises: 'Hamlet'.
“Zhoa delivers a hammer blow with Hamnet. Buckley’s raw performance cuts deep. It is impossible not to feel with your whole being for her grief, her yearning for redemption.'' ★★★★ De Standaard
“How beautiful it is in these tough times to see a film again that, like a shimmering light in the darkness, shows that art has the power to offer life-saving comfort.” ★★★★ Humo
