Jimpa

Directed by Sophie Hyde

Hannah takes her nonbinary teenager, Frances, to Amsterdam to visit their gay grandfather, Jim - lovingly known as Jimpa. But Frances’ desire to stay abroad with Jimpa for a year means Hannah is forced to reconsider her beliefs about parenting and finally confront old stories about the past.
Jimpa is a warm, expansive family drama about generations, identity and the complicated affection that binds queer families across countries. Sophie Hyde brings tenderness and emotional intelligence to the material, giving the film a generous sense of lived-in history.
