Three generations grappling with a life-changing experience during one day of a vacation in Sintra, Portugal, a historic town known for its dense gardens and fairy-tale villas and palaces.

Details

Frankie (2019) takes viewers on a poignant journey as three generations of a family navigate a life-altering event during a single day on their vacation in the enchanting town of Sintra, Portugal. Renowned for its captivating gardens, majestic villas, and palaces straight out of a fairy tale, Sintra serves as the backdrop for their emotional journey.

Led by the indomitable Frankie (played by Isabelle Huppert), a celebrated French actress facing a grave health diagnosis, the family grapples with the impact of this devastating news. As they navigate the picturesque streets and hidden corners of Sintra, they are reminded of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.

Interwoven with Frankie's story are the lives and struggles of her family members. Her husband, Jimmy (Brendan Gleeson), grapples with his own feelings of loss and mortality while attempting to support Frankie. Frankie's estranged son, Paul (Jérémie Renier), seeks solace in the arms of his new love interest, while her stepdaughter, Sylvia (Vinette Robinson), battles with issues of trust and intimacy.

Director Ira Sachs skillfully captures the nuances and complexities of familial relationships, allowing viewers to witness the emotional highs and lows experienced by each character throughout this transformative day. With its stunning cinematography and powerful performances, Frankie offers a poignant and introspective exploration of love, loss, and the interconnectedness of family.
