When their newborn’s sex is indeterminate due to a disorder of sexual development, Mexico City couple María and Nicolás are plunged into uncertainty. Nicolás favors immediate medical assignment, while María embarks on a journey of research and empathy. Guided by an intersex activist, she reconsiders surgery and embraces a vision of autonomy and identity for their child. As tensions between them rise, the couple must confront societal pressures, parental expectations, and their deepest fears. Newborn, Alejandro Zuno’s debut feature, offers a tender, courageous exploration of intersexuality, questioning medical norms and celebrating parental love beyond binaries.
