The award-winning indie film BABYGIRL will open at the Quad Cinema in New York City on Friday, October 4th, 2013. Directed by Macdara Vallely, BABYGIRL is a coming-of-age story which takes place in Latino community of the Bronx. Macdara Vallely, who also wrote the film, based it on a real-life incident he witnessed on the 2 train in the Bronx.
Set in the Bronx, BABYGIRL is about Lena (Yainis Ynoa), a fifteen-year old Nuyorican girl, who has watched her heart-broken single-mom (Rosa Arredondo) fall in love with one man after another. When Victor (Flaco Navaja), the latest boyfriend, starts hitting on Lena, she sets out to expose him. But the plan backfires, and Lena finds herself trapped in an impossible love-triangle. The only way out is for her to stand up and confront some bitter home truths. BABYGIRL is the second feature by Irish director, Macdara Valley, who moved to Bronx, New York seven years ago.
