Moonlight

1980s Miami. Labelled as "soft" for his walk, sensitive 9-year-old boy Chiron is an easy target. And in a cruel world of antitheses, where everything can change at the sight of a knife or a gun, society has doomed Chiron to live a hard life. But violence begets violence. Then, months turn into years, and the boy grows into an introverted 16-year-old teenager struggling with his identity. Now, only a tough facade can shield him from the world. As a result, three pivotal periods--marked by intimidation, neglect, and pale paternal figures--define Chiron, now a vulnerable young adult. But, after all these years, complex pent-up emotions still get in the way of self-discovery. However, Chiron wants to know. In his desperate journey to evolution, will he ever accept himself?
