The movie begins in the early 1970s in a racially mixed New York City neighborhood, nine-year-old Troy (Zelda Harris) and her older brothers Clinton (Carlton Williams), Wendell (Sharif Rashed), Nate (Chris Knowings), and her younger brother, Joseph (Tse-Mach Washington) are introduced as their father Woody (Delroy Lindo) is blowing a horn to call them in from playing to eat dinner. Their mother, Carolyn (Alfre Woodard) is introduced as well.
So generally Troy gets bullied around by her brothers, and her mother is always telling her what to do, sending her to get grocerys. She had her little friends to whom she would get feisty with because they would try to down talk her but she didn't stay shut for no one. The family relationship was there but you can say it was more of a tought love kind of thing.
Later on in the movie things get harder for the family because Carolyn there mother gets sick and gets diagnosed with cancer. Tory becomes like the new mom in the house because she cleans helps cook, does her little brothers hair makes them clean and he'll around the house. It was really sad for the family when they found out there mother passed away and things were not going to be the same after wards.
Something to take away from this movie is at the moment you enjoy every moment you have with your loved ones because one day there here the next they can be gone. Also learn responsibility because as we see Tory took a load on once her mother passed because she felt as if being the only girl in the house hold she has to step up to the plate and become the new little mom of the house.
