JIMPA is an uplifting multi-generational family story. Filmmaker Hannah (Olivia Colman) takes her trans nonbinary teenager Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde) to Amsterdam, to visit their gay grandfather - lovingly know as “Jimpa” (John Lithgow). But Frances’ desire to stay with Jimpa for a year abroad means Hannah is forced to reconsider her beliefs about parenting and finally confront old stories about the past. Funny, accessible, full of sadness and joy, and with a wonderful multi-generational cast, JIMPA is a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture that shows us a queer family on screen and looks with nuance at just how much has changed in three generations. Grandfather Jim faces the challenges of being an ageing gay man in a generation of men that never expected to age, teenager Frances is confronted with the disappointment of their heroes failing to live up to their ideals, and the reality of practising your own values, and mother Hannah struggles to negotiate the views of her father and her child and reconcile that the story most helpful to her, might not be the one everyone agrees with. Around these three is a rich world of vital and familiar people, a world of family: the ones we are born into and the ones we create. Drawing inspiration from the death of her own father, the queer family she was raised in, and the identity of her child, acclaimed filmmaker Sophie Hyde tackles her most personal story yet with her trademark authenticity and intimacy. Centering a multigenerational queer family, JIMPA is bursting with compassion, nuance and joy, and is an urgent story for generations who desperately need to connect.
