In this film, choreographer Douglas Wright's work Gloria is recorded on camera by Alun Bollinger (a rare directorial effort from the Heavenly Creatures cinematographer). Vivaldi's Gloria RV589, a hymn to praise the birth of Christ, scores a yellow and black flurry of movements, limbs, and gestures. Subtitled "a dance for Deirdre Mummery in celebration of her life", Gloria pulses from gymnastic leaps to rest as it traces a cycle of death and birth. The work was shot not long after Wright returned from his dance OE and formed the Douglas Wright Dance Company.
