The official synopsis is as follows.
Academy Award-winner Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) brings his highly anticipated next feature to the screen, an adaptation of James Baldwin’s stunning novel If Beale Street Could Talk. In early 1970’s Harlem, Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, is in love with a young sculptor, Fonny, the father of her unborn child. When Fonny is falsely accused of rape and imprisoned, Tish and their families race to clear his name before the baby is born. A story about love persisting in the face of racial oppression and injustice, Jenkins brings together a talented young cast which includes Stephan James (Selma, Race) as Fonny and newcomer Kiki Layne as Tish.
The film stars Stephan James and KiKi Layne in the two central roles, alongside Regina King, Colman Domingo, Teyonah Parris, Aunjanue Ellis, Brian Tyree Henry, Dave Franco, Pedro Pascal, Ed Skrein, Diego Luna, Michael Beach, Finn Wittrock and Emily Rios.
