Jackie

A trio of actresses play mother and daughters on a road trip through New Mexico: Oscar winner Holly Hunter (“The Piano“) as well as real life sisters Carice and Jelka van Houten. Sofie (Carice van Houten) and Daan (Jelka van Houten) are twin sisters who were raised by two fathers (Paul Case and Jaap Spijkers). Aside from their blood ties, they have nothing in common. When they get a phone call from America that their biological mother (Holly Hunter) is in a hospital with a complicated leg fracture awaiting transfer to a rehabilitation center, the two end up in an adventure where everything they believed in is called into question. This results in an unforgettable journey to New Mexico with the strange and inappropriate Jackie where the lives of the two sisters will change forever.
