Olivia Colman and John Lithgow Lead LGBTQ Family Heartwarmer ‘Jimpa,’ Launching at Cannes Market From CAA and Protagonist


Olivia Colman and John Lithgow star in 'Jimpa,' a feel-good LGBTQ family film which Protagonist and CAA will launch at the Cannes Market.

Olivia Colman and John Lithgow head the cast of “ Jimpa,” a multi-generational family tale involving a nonbinary teenager and her mother who take a trip to see their gay grandfather. 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,” reads a synopsis provided by the producers. “For a long time, I have admired Sophie’s directorial ability to tell intimate stories with scale and audience appeal, so it’s an immense privilege to be working alongside her to bring ‘Jimpa’ to life,” said producer Liam Heyen.
