In this tape Montano mourns the death of her ex-husband. Every detail of her story, from the telephone call announcing the tragedy to visiting the body, is chanted by Montano as her face, pierced by acupuncture needles, slowly comes into focus and then goes out again. When in the image, her lips momentarily falter, the audio track, i.e., her voice, resolutely continues.
