Hamnet

How heartbreaking can grief be? In Hamnet break Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal your heart in this intense love drama that is inspired by the life story of Hamnet, the son of Shakespeare. In 16th-century England, the plague strikes mercilessly. Will and Agnes lead a warm family life, until their son Hamnet dies. Their all-encompassing grief finds a way out in art, when Will leaves for London and begins what will become one of his greatest works. Based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell and directed by Chloé Zhao. Hamnet is not a classic biopic, but a tender and poignant portrait of mourning, love, and loss.
