Twin sisters – a prim, ambitious magazine editor (Carice van Houten, "Game of Thrones") and a warm, family-oriented housewife (real-life sibling Jelka van Houten) – travel to the American Southwest in search of the biological mother they've never met (Academy Award winner Holly Hunter). Finding her the worse for wear and living out of a battered RV, the sisters drive their mother cross-state to a rehab center on a journey that will redefine the meaning of “family” for all of them. With dazzling cinematography shot on location in the breathtaking desert landscapes of New Mexico, Jackie is a fresh and heartwarming take on the classic American road movie.
