| | A
Romantic Urban Love Story based on the "Romeo and Juliet" theme
between Blacks and Hispanics. Two innocent young adults having to cope with the
interracial barriers brought on by the people closes to them. Yusef
and CeCe are young and in love, trying to do what they can to finally leave
their hometown and see what the world has to offer them. They've been friends
since childhood, Yusef being a fixture in the home due to his close friendship
with Juan, CeCe's brother and treated like a son by Sergio,
CeCe's father. It's not until Sergio finds out they are dating that he
becomes furious and forbids CeCe from seeing Yusef. | |
| | Cedric,
the hypocrite cousin of Yusef, comes to stay with him when he is released
from County Jail. His hatred for Hispanics is due to his treatment from them in
county jail and his relationship with the mother of his newborn child from a Hispanic
girl. While he is trying to get back into the swing of things, he meets Sonya,
a friend of CeCe, and the girlfriend of Jose, a Hispanic gangster who dislikes
Blacks and Hispanics mixing. This torrid affair leads to an intense fistfight
that culminates to the deaths of Jose and another young black male, Shorty.
Through the film, we see how two people can totally be blind by the color
of love, because it's not the color that their in love with, it's the way they
see the person in their eyes.
