Hamnet by Chloé Zhao

Deep in a forest, a young woman sleeps, curled up in a cradle formed by the exposed root of an ancient tree. She is dressed in deep red, accompanied by a falcon that responds to her calls. She knows herbs and potions, and it is said she was not born of her mother, but of a woman who came from the woods. Her name is Agnes, and when Will sees her, he immediately falls in love with her. Will is the young William Shakespeare, who manages to marry her despite the hostility of her families and have three children with her, Susannah and the twins Judith and Hamnet. But a loss strikes them, when the playwright is already working in London, and Hamnet becomes Hamlet.

Oscar 2026 - Best Actress in leading Role: Jessie Buckley

"A film about ghosts, deaths, and rebirths. The director's powerfully feminine energy confronts excruciating pain with courage and empathy". (Paola Casella)
