Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Car Wash
This is the story of a bunch of car washers, mostly black, who work at the car wash. Not very much happens, although one of the workers, a sullen black guy named Abdula, draws a gun and has to be talked out of washing the car wash at the end; most of it is the story of life at the car wash.
