The image shows a young woman in the foreground, dressed in a burgundy or rust-colored garment, with her hands clasped together in what appears to be prayer or anguish. She's positioned at what looks like a wooden barrier or railing, with a large crowd of period-dressed townspeople gathered behind her, all wearing earth-toned clothing and various head coverings typical of peasants and commoners from that era.

About Hamnet

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet. Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling.

Three people in high-visibility safety vests working together to move what appears to be a large white cylindrical object, possibly a wind turbine blade component, along a road at sunset or sunrise.
