PLOT:
i. Little
In Liberty City, Miami, Cuban drug dealer Juan finds Chiron, a withdrawn child who goes by the nickname "Little", hiding from a pack of bullies. Juan allows Chiron to spend the night with him and his girlfriend Teresa before returning him to his emotionally abusive mother Paula the next day.
Chiron continues to spend time with Juan, who teaches him how to swim and advises him to make his own path. One night, Juan observes Paula smoking crack with one of his customers. Juan berates her for her addiction while Paula rebukes him for selling crack in the first place. Ashamed, she takes out her frustrations on Chiron upon returning home and calls him a "faggot".
The next day, Chiron admits to Juan and Teresa that he hates his mother before asking what "faggot" means. Juan replies it is okay to be gay and that he should not allow other people to mock him for it. After asking Juan whether or not he sold drugs to Paula, Chiron leaves as Juan hangs his head in shame.
ii. Chiron
Now a teenager, Chiron juggles avoiding his classmate Terrel, who frequently bullies him, and spending time with Teresa, who has lived alone since Juan's death. Paula has become addicted to crack and prostitutes herself to support her addiction, frequently coercing Chiron into giving her money that Teresa loans him.
One night, Chiron has a dream in which his closest friend Kevin has sex with a woman. On another night, Kevin visits Chiron at the beach near his house. While smoking a blunt, the two discuss their respective ambitions and the nickname, "Black", that Kevin has given Chiron. After a charged moment, they kiss, and Kevin masturbates Chiron.
The next morning, Terrel pressures Kevin into participating in a hazing ritual. Kevin reluctantly punches Chiron until he is unable to get up before Terrel and several others stomp on him. Chiron later meets with a social worker, who urges him to reveal the identities of his attackers. He refuses, however, as he believes that reporting them will not solve anything. The next day, Chiron smashes a chair into Terrel's back. As the police arrest Chiron, he glares at a helpless Kevin.

iii. Black
Now going by the name "Black", an adult Chiron deals drugs outside Atlanta. He receives frequent calls from Paula, who asks him to visit her at the drug treatment center where she now lives. One night, he receives a call from Kevin, who apologizes for his behavior and invites Chiron to visit him in Miami. The next day, he wakes up after dreaming about Kevin to find that he has had a wet dream.
While visiting his mother at the drug treatment center, Chiron admits that he feels remorse for his lack of empathy towards her. Paula eventually apologizes for not being there when he needed her, and he forgives her. He then travels to Miami and reunites with Kevin, who now works in a diner, but is reluctant to speak or drink with him.
Kevin confesses that he is surprised by Chiron's new appearance, occupation, and motivation for seeing him. After dinner, the two drive to Kevin's home. Kevin tells Chiron that, although his life may not have turned out the way he hoped, he is still happy. Chiron admits he has never been intimate with another person since their encounter on the beach. As Kevin comforts him, Chiron thinks back to his time as a child on the beach.
