Crying Ladies

This Filipino dramedy follows the last of the professional mourners in Manila's Chinatown. The street smart Stella Mate dreams of a better job so she can regain custody of her beloved son from her ex-husband. Then there is Doray, a bit player actress in the '70s whose life revolves around the glory days of her B-movie career. Finally, there is the pious and naive Choleng, who simply cannot resist the advances of her best friend's husband. These are the crying ladies: three women who decide to accept part-time jobs as professional mourners for a traditional Chinese funeral.
