About
After his wife's sudden death, Dad (Benedict Cumberbatch) raises two sons while Crow, a huge bird voiced by David Thewlis, haunts him.
After the sudden death of his wife, Dad (Benedict Cumberbatch) is left to raise his two young sons alone in the family's London home. He tries to keep daily life normal while working as a graphic novelist, drawing dark images in black ink in his small studio. His grip on reality starts to slip when Crow, a huge crow, appears in the apartment. The creature, voiced by David Thewlis, watches him from the shadows and will not go away, and it becomes harder to separate the bird from his troubled mind.
Based on Grief Is The Thing With Feathers
