“In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.”
Gabourey Sidibe plays the title character, an illiterate, overweight teenage black girl in 1987 Harlem. She lives with her abusive mother (Mo'Nique) and already has one child and another on the way, both of which came from getting raped by her father. Their world is one of the grittiest ever brought to screen: aside from the scuzzy surroundings, everything's always about to explode in their apartment.
When the bullied Precious gets expelled from her school, she gets reassigned to an alternative school. So begins a new adventure in her life. But not without some tough spots along the way.
