Story Line:
Three time periods – young adolescence, mid-teen and young adult – in
the life of black-American Chiron is presented. When a child, Chiron
lives with his single, crack addict mother Paula in a crime ridden
neighborhood in Miami. Chiron is a shy, withdrawn child largely due to
his small size and being neglected by his mother, who is more concerned
about getting her fixes and satisfying her carnal needs than taking care
of him. Because of these issues, Chiron is bullied, the slurs hurled at
him which he doesn’t understand beyond knowing that they are meant to
be hurtful. Besides his same aged Cuban-American friend Kevin, Chiron is
given what little guidance he has in life from a neighborhood drug
dealer named Juan, who can see that he is neglected, and Juan’s caring
girlfriend Teresa, whose home acts as a sanctuary away from the bullies
and away from Paula’s abuse. With this childhood as a foundation, Chiron
may have a predetermined path in life, one that will only be magnified
in terms…
