三個菲律賓師奶接了個「哭喪」job,負責在喪禮上披麻帶孝,連哭五天。原來唐人街有位華僑過了身,要班齊人馬來奔喪,奉行「死者為大」之宿命。
三位阿姐哭起來熱「淚」沸騰,事實上她們背後亦各有辛酸。史汀娜剛出獄不久,渴望找一份好工作,可以從前夫手上奪回兒子的撫養權;多麗是過氣女明星,她最怕別人忘記她曾在B級片扮演不斷尖叫的小角色,現時打算全力捧紅女兒做明日天后;彩玲則是失控人妻,她竟然愛上了死黨的丈夫,展開一段「失樂園」孽緣。
三個女人,一個喪禮,諷刺抵死、笑料喊位兼而有之。史汀娜一角由菲律賓影壇一姐莎朗庫奈達擔綱,她出神入化的演技,令人笑破肚皮。

Meet the last of the professional mourners of Manila's Chinatown.
The street smart Stella who dreams of a better job to be able
to get back custody of her beloved son from her ex-husband.
Then there is Doray, a bit player of the '70's whose life
revolves around the glory days of her B-movies career. And
religious and naive Choleng who simply cannot resist the sexual
advances of her best friend's husband. They all accept a part-time
job to be the professional mourners for a traditional Chinese
funeral and now they have to cry for 5 days!
The story of these three women is given life in the context
of a funeral wake. Against all odds in life, they survive
and emerge victorious in the many little ways that make up
real life. First-time director Mark Meily brings a heartwarming
comedy that moves the audience to tears....... and laughter.
