00:00So tell us about your film.
00:01So it's a personal story about my parents.
00:06It starts in Adelaide in 1977.
00:09They build a home together,
00:11and they coach each other through life
00:13to make it a good family.
00:17But he's considered too political, too controversial,
00:20and so he says he needs to leave.
00:23He needs to find opportunities
00:25in a more progressive part of the world.
00:28You weren't hurt or angry at your father leaving?
00:35Have you talked to him about your film yet?
00:38You're worried that he's not going to give you his blessing?
00:41Maybe.
00:42Hello! Come here, come here.
00:47Everyone, this is Francis.
00:52I was thinking Francis needed to get out of Adelaide
00:55before it suffocates them.
00:57You can live with me.
00:58Is that what you want?
01:01At some point, he is going to hurt Francis.
01:04There's no such thing as bisexuality.
01:08Maybe tone it down a bit.
01:10Tone what down?
01:12Just because he's got all these very admirable ideals
01:15doesn't mean he necessarily puts them into practice.
01:22You're a child for such a short amount of time.
01:25That time as a young family is limited,
01:28and it's gone, and you can't get it back.
01:35It's about a daughter learning to not need her father so much.
01:40And her being grateful for that.
01:48I understand the need to find yourself, find your family.
01:55I simply said, Francis, this is your grandpa, Jim.
02:00But he thought grandpa sounded too old.
02:03So he gave himself a new name.
02:06Jimpa.
02:07Jimpa.
02:08Jimpa.
02:09Jimpa.
02:09Jimpa.
02:10Jimpa.
02:11Jimpa.
