Ginger and Rosa

Synopsis

London, 1962. Two teenage girls - Ginger and Rosa - are inseparable; they play truant together, discuss religion, politics and hairstyles, and dream of lives bigger than their mothers' frustrated domesticity. But, as the Cold War meets the sexual revolution, and the threat of nuclear holocaust escalates, the lifelong friendship of the two girls is shattered by the clash of desire and the determination to survive.

Director: Sally Potter

Year: 2020

We follow 24 hours in the life of father and daughter Leo and Molly as she grapples with the challenges of dealing with her father’s chaotic mental state. But as they weave their way around New York City, their ordinary but stressful day takes on a hallucinatory and epic quality, for Leo is seamlessly flowing in and out of several parallel lives; a passionate marriage with his childhood sweetheart Dolores in Mexico; a struggling career as a drummer in Manhattan with his more successful lover, Adam; and a life of solitude on a remote Greek island, where a chance encounter with two young tourists unmasks the uncomfortable truths of a family life left behind...<br /> The film weaves a rich, cinematic tapestry as Leo's parallel lives – visible only to him - gradually unravel in moments of tragedy, happiness, regret and humour. It is only his daughter who gradually begins to understand his extraordinary secret. <br /> Official Selection Berlin International Film Festival 2020 - Competition - World premiere
