A couples faces
a heart-wrenching decision when their newborn has both male and female features:
he pushes for surgery to assign a sex, while she, moved by intersex stories,
questions this protocol and her own ideas about gender.
Newborn / Un mundo para mí, the compelling debut
feature by Alejandro Zuno—director of the hit Netflix series The Secret of
the River—was awarded the Global Vision Award for Best International Film
at the 34th Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California, where it had its
North American premiere.
The first Mexican film to address intersexuality, Newborn tells the story of Maria and Nicholas, a young couple in Mexico City whose world is upended when doctors reveal that their newborn's sex cannot be determined due to a disorder of sexual development.
Nicholas insists on following
medical protocol, which calls for surgically assigning a sex to their child.
But Maria embarks on a path of research and self-reflection, connecting with an
activist who challenges her understanding of gender and identity. As Maria
questions the necessity of medical intervention, tensions mount between the
couple, forcing them to confront their deepest fears about their child's
future.
Facing the toughest decision of
their lives and caught between love, uncertainty, and societal pressure, Maria
and Nicholas must make a life-altering decision — one that will shape not only
their baby's path but also their own understanding of family and acceptance.
Featuring powerful performances by Mayra Hermosillo (Lost in the Night) and Andrés Delgado (La Máquina), Newborn is a poignant exploration of love, identity, and the challenges of parenthood. As an openly queer filmmaker, Alejandro Zuno brings sensitivity and depth to his auspicious debut feature, capturing a couple’s emotional journey as they navigate an unexpected dilemma that tests their values and reshapes their understanding of acceptance.
