This day-in-the-life cult comedy focuses on a group of friends working at Sully Boyar's Car Wash in the Los Angeles ghetto. The team meets dozens of eccentric customers -- including a smooth-talking preacher, a wacky cab driver and an ex-convict -- while cracking politically incorrect jokes to a constant soundtrack of disco and funk. Some of the workers find romance as the day moves along, but most are just happy to get through another shift.
Little people fight for dignity and a paycheck amidst the grease and neon of a Los Angeles car wash. This vibrant slice of life pulses with disco rhythms and unapologetic wit as the crew navigates a chaotic day of eccentric customers.
