Baby & Baby (2025)

Agnes Ward opens a quiet New England house to her longtime friend Lydie after Lydie returns from living elsewhere. Agnes greets Lydie in the living room late into the evening; the two talk, drink, and catch up while Agnes's tabby cat Olga moves between them. Gavin, the young man who lives next door and with whom Agnes has an intermittent sexual relationship, drops by briefly and leaves. Lydie tells Agnes that she is pregnant with a child conceived through a sperm donor, and they celebrate in an easy, private way. Agnes and Lydie drive to meet old graduate-school colleagues -- Logan, Devin and Natasha -- at a small local bar. Natasha speaks in a cutting, condescending manner about Agnes's career advancement; Lydie defends Agnes with a sharp remark of her own. That night, before bed, Agnes stands in front of Lydie's sleeping belly and jokes with the unborn child about how she will be its other parent, promising in a half-serious, half-playful tone that the child can always come to her.

The narrative moves back in time to the graduate-program days when Agnes, Lydie and the same classmates sit in a seminar group under Professor Preston Decker. Agnes admires Decker's first novel and tells him so in private. In their one-on-one meeting he praises her dissertation and gives her a rare first edition of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. He later invites Agnes to his house under the pretense that his son is with his ex-wife. When they are alone at Decker's house the evening turns violent: Decker sexually assaults Agnes. She leaves his house in a daze, drives home in silence, and once inside her apartment she strips off her clothes and takes a bath while recounting the assault to Lydie in intense, graphic detail. The two friends go to a doctor together; when the physician asks rigid, clinical questions Agnes and Lydie both bristle at his tone. Agnes goes before the college disciplinary board to report Decker, only to discover that Decker has already moved to a teaching position at another university in New York. Because she filed the complaint after his transfer the institution tells Agnes there is nothing it can do. Agnes sinks into a period of severe depressive symptoms, withdraws from social life, and finds small comforts: she adopts a stray kitten she names Olga and spends hours with Lydie and her new pet.

Grief and rage war inside Agnes. She tells Lydie that she has thought about a violent, symbolic act: burning down Decker's office. She obtains lighter fluid from Gavin when they meet for the first time as neighbors. Lydie offers to set the office on fire herself, but Agnes pulls back from that plan. When Lydie leaves New England to live with someone named Fran, she and Agnes remain close but at a distance; Lydie begins a relationship with Fran and later marries. Agnes drifts into a sexual relationship with Gavin, sometimes tender and sometimes awkward; in one intimate scene they end up in a bath together where Agnes notices Gavin's body and makes an offhand humorous remark. Agnes tells friends and strangers very little about the assault; when she is summoned to jury duty she tells the judge she cannot be impartial because of what she endured, that she does not want Decker to face jail because she doubts incarceration would change him and she worries about the consequences for his child. The judge dismisses her from the panel.

Agnes's career takes a step forward: she is lecturing as a part-time professor on novels such as Lolita and is later recommended for a full-time faculty position at the college she attended. The recommendation prompts a visit from Natasha, who returns with a sour comment -- she says, knowing Agnes's association with Decker, that Agnes is Decker's "chosen one" who benefited from him. Natasha confesses that she had sex with Decker during their student years, and that she expected something from him and got nothing in return; Natasha directs this observation at Agnes as an accusation. The remark sends Agnes into a panic attack while she is driving; she pulls to the side of a road near a small sandwich shop and collapses into a shaking, hyperventilating fit. Pete, the sandwich shop owner, sees her in distress, brings her a sandwich, sits with her at a picnic table and listens as she steadies. Pete talks to her about ordinary life logistics in a grounding way and gives her space to breathe.

Across town Lydie and her partner Fran return from a trip to a lighthouse and bring their newborn daughter, Jane, to visit Agnes's home. They ask Agnes to watch Jane while they travel, so Agnes stays behind to babysit. Agnes holds Jane, speaks to her as if she is a child older than an infant, and gives a brief, earnest exhortation: she tells Jane that when Jane grows up and needs to say something important or needs someone to go to, Jane can come to Agnes. Agnes admits aloud that she is sorry Jane will be born into a world that contains harm and violence; she promises that she will try to be present for Jane and expresses a hope that, despite what people like Decker exist, Jane's life will be okay.

Cut to a very different shore and a very different father figure. In Kerala, India, a man who goes by the name John D'Silva owns and runs a small bakery called Baby John's. He lives with his daughter Khushi, his dog Tiger, and his best friend Jackie. Khushi endures bullying at school from a classmate who beats her; John observes his daughter crying and instructs her to stand up for herself, telling her that nonviolence sometimes fails and that she must use force if someone assaults her. When Khushi fights back and physically strikes her bully, the school summons her parents. A young teacher named Tara asks to meet John and Khushi; Tara and John strike up a friendship that gradually grows into attraction.

One afternoon at a church, John, Khushi and Tara notice a crowd of men who have kidnapped a young woman named Devi and appear to be planning to traffic her. John steps forward and speaks firmly to the mob, defusing the immediate threat and drawing attention away from Devi. Tara, seeing Devi crouch in the crowd, moves quickly and hides Devi in the boot of John's car without his knowledge and then drives to the police station intending to file a complaint. At the station an officer starts to speak to John in Malayalam; John answers fluently and introduces himself as someone with deep family roots in Kerala, contradicting his earlier claim that he does not speak the language. As John is about to leave, the officer calls him "Satya" from behind, and John freezes. Tara notices the exchange and begins to suspect there is another identity behind John. That night, after the police tip the trafficking gang about Devi's hiding place, masked goons arrive at John's house intent on killing Khushi. John arms himself and, in a violent, decisive fight, kills the assailants who break through his door to reach his daughter.

Jackie -- who introduces himself in the present as John's close friend -- reveals his own past identity during the same period: his real name is HC Ram Sevak, and he has been Satya's friend for years. Tara confronts John after the attack; she reveals to him that she is not the schoolteacher she seemed to be but a covert officer named Adhira Verman working undercover. Adhira finds John's manner and the unnatural small-town secrecy around his name suspicious; she searches and discovers records under the name Satya Verma. Jackie explains that John is in fact DCP Satya Verma who, some years earlier, performed brutal acts of extrajudicial justice while working as a police officer.

The film slides back six years to show Satya's life as an honest, unyielding police officer. Satya lives with his elderly mother and becomes a terror to local criminals because he investigates cases the rest of the force ignores. Parents bring him the disappearance of a teenage girl named Amba; the regular police have not acted, so Satya begins to pursue leads. He learns that Ashwin, the rebellious, entitled son of powerful politician Nanaji -- also called Babbar Sher -- abducted and sexually assaulted Amba, then broke her legs, stabbed her repeatedly and burned her beyond recognition. Nanaji runs an organized network of human trafficking and can operate openly because his patrons in power shield him. Satya goes to Nanaji's villa to arrest Ashwin but finds his own superior celebrating Ashwin's rise; the local captains of corruption are already in Ashwin's pocket and expect Satya to kiss Ashwin's boots when they encounter him. Satya sees with brutal clarity that the legal system will allow Ashwin to walk free. In response, Satya tracks Ashwin down in private and kills him in vengeful, deliberate violence. Satya later goes to Babbar Sher and shows him what he has done; Babbar Sher vows revenge for his son's death.

During the same years Satya dismantles street-begging rackets, rescues a group of children forced to beg, and when a running fight breaks out he beats the racketeers and takes several badly injured thugs to the hospital. At the hospital he meets Meera, a doctor based in Chennai, who initially finds his bluntness off-putting but quickly softens when she sees him supporting the education of the rescued children. Meera and Satya fall in love; she counsels him toward a calmer life, but Satya believes his duty is to pursue criminals. They marry and welcome a daughter, Khushi.

Satya's enemies answer with escalating brutality. On Khushi's birthday, Babbar Sher sends two heavy enforcers, Bhima and Inspector Baldev Patil, to Satya's house with the intent to kill. Babbar Sher's cronies burst into Satya's home, kill Meera and Satya's mother Madhvi in front of him, and then attempt to drown the infant Khushi so no heir survives. Meera, dying, forces Satya to promise he will leave the police force and live a quiet life with Khushi; she makes him swear to fake his death so their enemies will believe he is gone. Satya honors that oath: he stages his death, cuts ties with his past life, and relocates under an assumed name as John D'Silva in Kerala where he opens a bakery and dedicates his days to raising Khushi.

Back in the present under the alias of John, Adhira discovers that John and Satya are one and the same. Adhira, moved by the depth of his loss, begins to care for John and Khushi in a protective surveillance posture. Babbar Sher, learning that Satya and his daughter are alive, continues to pursue them. When Khushi goes on a school trip Babbar Sher engineers an orchestrated accident on the bus intended to eliminate her; John -- returning to the instincts and violence of his former life -- intervenes, fights through the wreckage, and rescues Khushi from the staged crash with the help of Adhira and local villagers. After that attempted murder, Satya resolves to stop running. He slips back into the role he once held and returns to Mumbai to dismantle Babbar Sher's trafficking and criminal network.

Satya's return to Mumbai becomes a campaign of surgical violence. He attacks Babbar Sher's operations and kills two of Babbar Sher's key lieutenants, Inspector Baldev Patil and Bhima, during confrontations in which he forces open their defenses and executes them in the field. The film shows how Satya methodically traces Babbar Sher's money and manpower, storming warehouses, confronting corrupt police and seizing lists of trafficking victims. Babbar Sher responds by ordering a major abduction: his men kidnap Khushi and a group of women he maintains for his rackets. Satya reaches the hideout where Babbar Sher holds them, fights past guards, and rescues Khushi along with the captive women. When the women confront Babbar Sher in the hideout they do not merely escape; enraged and freed, they charge him and together they kill him in a violent, collective assault that ends with Babbar Sher's death at their hands.

Afterward, Satya and his allies pursue the final nodes of the network. Two years pass. Satya is recruited into a national intelligence agency and becomes a RAW field operative. He and his trusted companions -- Adhira; Jackie, who reveals his own past as HC Ram Sevak and returns as a combat-assistant; and a handler known as Agent Bhaijaan -- prepare to leave on a mission to eliminate a higher-level protector known as Boss. During that mission Satya tracks down DGP Yashraj Mukerjee, a high-ranking police official who had helped Babbar Sher by obstructing investigations and protecting trafficking routes. In the climax of the intelligence operation Satya confronts Yashraj and kills him for his complicity in Babbar Sher's crimes; the sequence ends with Satya and his team moving on to the next phase of their assignment.

Back in the New England town Agnes continues to process her trauma in halting manners. She teaches, lecturing students about Lolita and literary interpretations, and her professional life stabilizes as she assumes a full-time role at the college. She keeps living with Olga, maintaining routines with Gavin when he is present and calming herself in small domestic rituals. Friendship ties fray and reknit: Lydie returns as a parent and tells Agnes about her life with Fran and Jane. Agnes sometimes finds it difficult to reconcile the assault she endured with the orderly, bureaucratic world that refuses to punish Decker. She refuses to press formal charges against Decker because she judges that to do so would draw protracted legal attention to his child. She tests boundaries with Gavin, sleeps with him, jokes about bodily things and accepts his ordinary care. At work, when Natasha makes that caustic remark about being Decker's "chosen one," Agnes is overwhelmed; she leaves class, drives away from campus, and breaks down in front of Pete's sandwich shop, where Pete, a quietly observant man, gives her a sandwich and a listening ear.

The film's final sequences run in parallel. In one last quiet scene Agnes sits with baby Jane, who coos and stirs in her lap while Lydie and Fran prepare to leave for a lighthouse visit. Agnes lifts Jane and speaks in a low, steady voice: she promises that when Jane grows up she can always come to Agnes to tell whatever she needs to say; she tells the infant, plainly, that the world contains terrible things and that she cannot promise they will never touch Jane, but she will be there to help. Lydie and Fran return from the lighthouse having seen the coast and the sea, and Agnes hands Jane back to them with the small duty she has performed.

The closing shot crosses continents and years. Satya -- now officially operating as an intelligence field agent -- boards a vehicle with Adhira, Jackie and Agent Bhaijaan to fly out on a new mission to neutralize Boss and finish the work that started with the death of his wife and mother. He sits quiet and unreadable, accompanied by the colleagues who will be his team; they drive away from the Mumbai airport as the sun rises, leaving behind both the domestic bakery that once sheltered his family and the ruins of the trafficking empire Babbar Sher built. The camera lingers on him for a moment before cutting to black, ending the film with Satya's departure and Agnes's promise ringing in the memory.
