FROM acclaimed director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Jimpa is
an uplifting multi-generational family story starring award-winning favourites Olivia
Colman and John Lithgow. Hannah (Colman) travels to vibrant Amsterdam with
her teen, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to reconnect with her politically-engaged,
gay father —affectionately known as Jimpa (Lithgow).
Frances is besotted with Jimpa and announces they wish to stay with him for
a year – to Hannah’s apprehension. Jimpa is ercely independent, so it is a shock
when his declining health is revealed, upending Frances’ plans and bringing Han-
nah’s sister in from the UK.
As the siblings negotiate what happens next, Hannah must confront her past
and the stories she has told about her family. With warmth, humour and joy, Jimpa
reminds us that, in every family, there are stories that don’t add up.
In cinemas February 19.
