 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 Chiron is a shy| withdrawn child largely due to his small size and being neglected by his mother|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...
Moonlight uses one man's story to offer a remarkable and brilliantly crafted look at lives too rarely seen in cinema.
