Cry Baby works as a secretary for a very strict boss, who punishes her for every mistake. Here’s how it usually goes: Cry arrives at her boss’s house and must first present herself properly, appearing like a well-trained slave. She starts by posing with her hands behind her head, tiptoeing in stockings and barefoot. Later, she kneels on the floor, lifting and showing her delicate soles. As punishment, she kneels on firm peas, maintaining the position with her hands behind her head. A grimace of pain is evident on her face as she endures this ordeal. Afterward, she sits crying, gently touching her knees marked by the peas. Finally, Cry puts on her clothes and waits for permission to leave.
