These eight sex workers from Maseru agreed to be filmed because their lives are exposed to so much violence, all of which are acts of daily humiliation. They spontaneously act out the role with a sense of burlesque playfulness and devastating humour. They improvise a ritual whose generosity is danced and sung - an ode to their dignity.
