SYNOPSIS Babygirl:
“Babygirl” is not a typical romantic comedy or romance; it explores deeper themes of love with a bold sense of humor. The story unfolds during an extended Christmas season and follows Romy, played by the captivating Nicole Kidman. She is a married woman who becomes involved in a dominant-submissive relationship that nearly takes over her life. This film delves into the experiences of women, their bodies, and the control over them, highlighting what it means for a woman to reveal her innermost self. It also touches on themes of power, with unique twists.
Romy leads a successful robotics company that appears to focus on warehouse automation. The robots, which may eventually replace human workers, symbolize her meticulously organized life. At her New York home, she prepares for a busy workday but also dons a messy apron to pack her children’s lunches with personal notes. This contrast raises questions for her husband, Jacob (Antonio Banderas), about her choices.
