If Beale Street Could Talk

Clementine "Tish" Rivers and Alonzo "Fonny" Hunt have been friends their whole lives, beginning a romantic relationship when older. In the 1970s, they struggle to find an apartment, as most New York landlords would not rent to black people. Eventually, they find a place in a warehouse being converted to loft apartments; Levy, the Jewish landlord, rents it to them at a good rate because he enjoys seeing couples who are in love, regardless of race.
