An Everlasting Piece is a 2000 American comedy film. The movie was directed by Barry Levinson and written by and starring Barry McEvoy. The plot involves two wig salesmen, one Catholic and one Protestant, who live in war torn Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the mid-'80s. The supporting cast includes comedian Billy Connolly as a lunatic in a psychiatric hospital. McEvoy based the screenplay on the adventures of his own father as a toupée peddler to both sides in the midst of the conflict. The movie was shot on location in Belfast. The story begins with Colm on his way to start a new job, as... a barber in a Belfast psychiatric hospital. As he receives his orientation, and is introduced to the staff who are nearly all called Billy, he resents being referred to as 'The new Catholic'. Before being introduced to his fellow barber, George, he is warned not to bring up the subject of poetry. With nothing to do and nothing in common to talk about with George, Colm decides to ask him about poetry and is subjected to George's very poor efforts, which he pretends to appreciate.
