Passing

Passing tells the story of two black women who cross the color line. Irene Redfield has an enviable life with her husband and sons in a comfortable Harlem town house. But Irene´s hold on this life begins to slip the day she encounters Clare Kendry, a lost childhood friend. Clare- light-skinned, beautiful, charming- has for years passed for white, hidding her true identity from her racist husband. As Claire begins inserting herself into Irene´s life, Irene is thrown into a panic, terrified of the consequences of Claire´s dangerous behaviour.
