In the room.
In this tragicomic work of realism, Pierce Mundy (Everett Silas) is employed at his parents’ South Central dry cleaners with no prospects for the future —his childhood buddies are all in prison or dead. Pierce’s best friend Soldier (Ronnie Bell) is just getting out of jail. Pierce’s brother Wendell (Monte Easter), an up-and-coming lawyer, is busy planning a wedding to a snooty upper-middle-class black woman named Sonia (director Charles Burnett’s wife, Gaye Shannon-Burnett, who co-produced the film). Pierce’s pious, Bible-touting mother (Jessie Holmes) provides occasional comic relief but also a heartfelt moral backbone to the film, as she urges Pierce to accept his responsibility to his family.
