A coming of age short film, born from true events. Complex and sensitive themes of adolescence, morality, family, knife crime and bereavement intertwine the story of The Mourning Bird.
After the murder of his older brother, thirteen year old Ky’s first encounter with grief forces him to find closure in an unlikely way.
The Mourning Bird was birthed from experiences that debut writer/director George Somner encountered in his teen years. George is best known as an actor most recently seen in Netflix’s Sex Education and BBC’s adaptation of Adam Kay’s Best Selling Novel, This Is Going To Hurt.
