| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Lee Daniels’ PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL ‘PUSH’
BY SAPPHIRE is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful
film about the human capacity to grow and overcome.
Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece “Precious”
Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American
girl born into a life no one would want. She’s pregnant
for the second time; at home, she must wait hand and foot
on her mother (Mo’Nique), a poisonously angry woman
who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is a place
of chaos, as Precious has reached the ninth grade with good
marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write.
Precious may sometimes be down, but she is never out. Beneath
her impassive expression is a watchful, curious young woman
with an unshakable sense that other possibilities exist for
her. Threatened with expulsion, Precious is offered the chance
to transfer to an alternative school, Each One Teach One.
Precious doesn’t know the meaning of “alternative,”
but her instincts tell her this is the chance she has been
waiting for. In the literacy workshop taught by the patient,
yet firm, Ms. Rain (Paula Patton), Precious begins a journey
that will lead her from darkness, pain and powerlessness to
light, love and self-determination.
