The 9th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November continuing its tradition of bringing the best new films from the Baltic region to New York audiences!

On Sunday at 4:30 PM, see the Latvian drama The Child (Bērns). Director Linda Olte will be present for film talk and Q&A

Zane and Kaspars, a couple in their late 30s, seem to have it all—love, careers, a house and shared hobbies. But despite trying for several years, they have been unable to have a child. After exploring clinics, diets, churches and healers, Kaspars is slowly coming to terms with the idea that life can be fulfilling even without children. But for Zane—a former professional swimmer who has been trained since childhood to win—the idea of not becoming a mother is unacceptable. And with her 40s approaching, there’s no time to waste. As she goes to grueling lengths to meet her target, her relationship with Kaspars grows increasingly strained, and Zane must question her role within her family and in society.
