A portrait of a keening woman, a paid female mourner who wails lamentations and sometimes performs dance-like movements and provocative acts in 'the merry wake.' She is in a time loop of applying and removing her make-up during and after a night's work of swallowing the sorrow of others at the club. Consumed in her sequined world of disco ball light, she cuts off her tears, washes her face, and pulls off her lashes in a near violent act of releasing her own grief.
