Adepero Oduye, qui a tenu le premier rôle du court métrage dont est tiré ce film interprète ici Alike (prononcez ah-lee-kay), une jeune femme Africaine-Américaine de 17 ans qui vit avec ses parents Audrey et Arthur (Kim Wayans et Charles Parnell) et sa jeune soeur Sharonda (Sahra Mellesse) dans le quartier de Fort Greene à Brooklyn. Elle a du talent pour la poésie et elle est une bonne élève au lycée situé dans le coin.
Alike s’apprête à se reconnaître assez fermement comme lesbienne. Avec le soutien parfois bouillonnant de sa meilleure amie Laura (Pernell Walker), qui est une lesbienne déclarée, Alike est spécialement impatient de trouver une petite copine. A la maison, le couple formé par ses parents bat de l’aile et une tension palpable s’installe.

English
When forced to choose between losing her best friend or destroying her family, a Bronx teenager juggles conflicting identities and endures heartbreak in a desperate search for sexual expression.
Adepero Oduye, who had earlier starred in the short film, portrays Alike (pronounced ah-lee-kay), a 17-year-old African-American woman who lives with her parents Audrey and Arthur (Kim Wayans and Charles Parnell) and younger sister Sharonda (Sahra Mellesse) in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood. She has a flair for poetry, and is a good student at her local high school.
Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents’ marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion. Pressed by her mother into making the acquaintance of a colleague’s daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), Alike finds Bina to be unexpectedly refreshing to socialize with.
Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity – sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, but always moving forward.
