The married life of Nicole Kidman’s successful CEO threatens to come apart at the seams as she begins a steamy affair with a young intern played by Harris Dickinson in the trailer of Halina Reijn’s erotic thriller Babygirl.

The two-minute-25-second-long trailer opens with Kidman’s character Romy who crosses paths with Dickinson’s character as she notices him confidently petting an aggressive dog outside her office. The sexual tension apparent in their first encounter quickly escalates into a passionate affair, putting her marriage to Antonio Banderas’ character in jeopardy.

When Romy warns her young lover that he is too young and she doesn't want to hurt him, he slyly counters, “I can make one phone call and you lose everything,” as scenes showing Kidman and Banderas play on the screen.

Kidman won the Best Actress award for her role at Venice Film Festival 2024 after the premiere of Babygirl at the fest. Director Halina Reijn accepted the award on Kidman’s behalf as the actress was unable to attend the event due to the recent passing of her mother.

“I’m in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her… I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you. The collision of life and art is heartbreaking and my heart is broken,” Reijn read out a statement from Kidman at the event.

“The affair at the heart of Babygirl allows Romy and Samuel to play out their confusion around power, gender, age, hierarchy, and primal instinct. Despite its forbidden nature, the joy of that exploration is liberating, even healing,” reads Reijn’s statement on Venice Film Festival’s official website.

Also starring Sophie Wilde, Babygirl is slated to release in US theatres during Christmas.
