In 1960s Florida, young Ellwood is unjustly sent to a reform school where he meets Turner, and the two boys try to navigate the harsh life at Nickel Academy where abuse of students runs rife. Audaciously shot entirely in first-person, Nickel Boys is powerful tale of human perseverance and redemption.
