Story
It's Saturday, past midnight, and thick fog rolls in from the river like smoke. Link Williams is standing on the dock when he hears quick footsteps approaching and the gasp of a woman too terrified to scream. After chasing off her pursuer, he takes the woman to a nearby bar to calm her nerves, and as they enter, it's as if the oxygen has left the room: they, and the other patrons, see in the dim light that he's Black and she's white.

Story
New York City, 1940s. In a crumbling tenement in Harlem, Lutie Johnson is determined to build a new life for herself and her eight-year-old boy, Bub - a life that she can be proud of. Having left her unreliable husband, Lutie believes that with hard work and resolve, she can begin again; she has faith in the American dream. But in her struggle to earn money and raise her son amid the violence, poverty and racial dissonance of her surroundings, Lutie is soon trapped: she is a woman alone, 'too good-looking to be decent', with predators at every turn.

Story
On a snowy Christmas Eve in an unnamed American city, the archangel Michael wanders the streets. He is alone and hungry, his clothes tattered, and when he sees his face reflected in a store window, it is that of a young African American boy. Who will offer him food and shelter and who will turn him away? And when he becomes a blonde, freckle-faced child, is his fate different?

Story
New York, vierziger Jahre. Lutie Johnson zieht mit ihrem Sohn in eine schäbige Mietwohnung in Harlem. Ein übergriffiger Hausmeister, ein Bordell im Erdgeschoss und flüchtige Schatten, die die dunklen Flure bevölkern. Luties Leben wird bestimmt von täglichen Kämpfen. Gegen die Zweifel, ob sie ihrem Sohn eine gute Mutter sein kann, gegen Armut und Rassismus, gegen die Eintönigkeit des Alltags und die Perspektivlosigkeit ihrer Lage. Doch Lutie ist entschlossen, den Sprung in ein besseres Leben zu schaffen.

Story
Ein junger Mann kehrt aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zurück in seine Heimatstadt an der Ostküste der USA. Alles ist ihm seltsam fremd - die Frau, das Elternhaus, die Mutter. Er versucht, zurück zur Normalität zu finden, doch seine Frau sieht durch seine Rückkehr in erster Linie ihre neu gewonnene Freiheit in Gefahr. Gewalt, Missgunst, Klatsch und Untreue bestimmen daraufhin nicht nur die Beziehung des Paares, sondern die gesamte Dynamik des Ortes.
