Trailer

Filmmaker Hannah (Olivia Colman) takes her trans, nonbinary teenager, Frances, to Amsterdam to visit their gay grandfather, lovingly known as “Jimpa” (John Lithgow). When Frances expresses a desire to stay with Jimpa for a year abroad, Hannah is forced to reconsider her parenting beliefs and the stories she has long told about her family. Inspired by her own experiences, this intimate, authentic film from acclaimed filmmaker Sophie Hyde is her most personal story yet. Jimpa celebrates the unique loves and challenges of a modern queer family across three generations.
