A woman sees her man murdered on the street - and time stands still. Until she cradles his corpse to her chest and carries it home, where she disinfects every inch of skin before seating herself to begin. What happens next reverberates from this realm into the next, where the man is witnessing his own funeral. Together, the lovers lament a lifetime of working their fingers to the bone in a country sucking everyone dry - but a choice has already been made. The woman is beating them at their own barbaric game, eating and entombing the body in her own where her soulmate will live again.
