The storyline follows a young Black man whose narrative unfolds in three critical stages of a man’s life rising up in Miami. The movie, which is somewhat compartmentalized by Chiron’s three life phases, explores themes of self-discovery, queerness and Black id. Notably, it explores the thought of masculinity and what it looks wish to be Black, queer and confused. That is exactly the position that Chiron takes as he grapples along with his worldview and setting. The film gained three Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.
