This International Award winning film reconstructs the famous book by T. H. White about a duel between a falconer and a hawk.
It takes two months for a man to train a hawk up to the point where it will obey his commands and make its first kill. This unusual programme highlights the emotional and practical struggle that develops between man and bird, and which the falconer has to overcome.
