A queer coming-of-age love story that introduces us to the world of Ali, a Dominican-American teenager from the Bronx. Baby is an ode to New York City and the rawness of teen-hood, and a tender portrait of a young person coming into their own queerness and desire.

Stori garu queer dod i oedran sy’n ein cyflwyno ni i fyd Ali, merch ifanc Dominicaidd-Americanaidd o’r Bronx. Mae Baby yn awdl i Ddinas Efrog Newydd a diffyg profiad y glasoed, ac yn bortread tyner o berson ifanc yn dod i dermau gyda bod yn queer a’i hawydd ei hun.

Baby was nominated for the Iris Prize by Newfest one of our worldwide network of partner festivals.
