Romana Vrede makes her debut in a foreign film with Olivia Colman | Movies & Series

Filming recently started. Vrede’s management has confirmed the reports about the film role in foreign media.

Jimpa is about a woman (Colman) who, together with her non-binary teenager, visits her gay father (Lithgow) who lives in the Netherlands. The recordings partly take place in Amsterdam.

Vrede plays a friend of ‘Jimpa’, the character played by John Lithgow. She is not the only Dutch actor in the film. There are also supporting roles for Zoë Love Smith, Jean Janssens, Teun Stokkel, Frank Sanders and Hans Kesting.

Director Sophie Hyde recently made her breakthrough with the well-received drama Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, about a retired widow (Emma Thompson) who hires a male sex worker. Jimpa will go on sale at the Cannes Festival film market next week. The film will be released in the Netherlands by distributor Cineart, although it is not yet clear when the premiere will be.

In 2017, Romana Vrede was the first actress of color to win the Theo d’Or, the most important Dutch theater prize. She was recently seen in series such as Santos, The Spectacular and Follow the STD.
