Jimpa
Jimpa is a sensitive and authentic drama about queer identity, parenthood and the complex dynamics between three generations. Filmmaker Sophie Hyde (Good Luck To You, Leo Grande) exposes both obvious and chosen family ties in her semi-autobiographical film. Starring Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Father) and John Lithgow (Conclave, The Crown).
Filmmaker Hannah travels to Amsterdam with her non-binary teenager Frances to visit her father Jim. Frances affectionately calls him Jimpa and hopes to stay with him for a year. This confronts Hannah with her parenting and sense of responsibility. Jim urges Frances to discover queer life in Amsterdam. But he cannot escape the fact that the freedom he went to Amsterdam for is not the same as his grandchild's.
