Original Version

Featuring richly textured performances from a sublime ensemble cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, and Sam Neill, Blackbird is a thought-provoking family drama about learning to live in the moment when painful loss looms.

Lily is terminally ill. Having considered her remaining options, and with the support of her husband Paul (Neill), she has decided to end her life on her own terms. Lily and Paul summon their loved ones to their country house for one final gathering, but the responses vary, especially those of Lily´s daughters, Jennifer (Winslet) and Anna (Mia Wasikowska), whose long-standing unresolved conflicts come surging to the surface and threaten to destabilize what was intended to be a peaceful collective farewell.
