BABY BLUES World Cinema

Natalia is a 17-year-old mother juggling adolescent desires and adult responsibilities in Kasia Rosłaniec’s visually stylish sophomore film set in present-day Poland. Rejected by her mother, Natalia roller-skates down the streets of Warsaw pushing a trendy baby-stroller, chasing after her boyfriend, Kuba. While he prefers to smoke weed and skateboard with his buddy, she clings to her baby, yearning for Kuba’s love and attention. Natalia is not a bad mother, but she is not mature enough to make correct judgments and she’s definitely not ready to subscribe to domestic life. Clueless and driven by high-fashion illusions, Natalia’s life progressively spirals out of control, leading her to make decisions that will change her life forever. BABY BLUES’ fashion-forward dress, bright color palette and cast of young, untrained actors offers a daring and innovative exploration of uncontrollable impulses and the fearless attitude of contemporary youth.
