Story: |
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 by her absent father; 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, and Precious has reached the
ninth grade with good marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write.
