Tossup

One film begins with a character with this occupation realizing the inflatable lounger she was resting on has floated out onto a lake and she cannot swim back. That character with this occupation later breaks off her relationship with her previously abusive father, who is also her agent, in the film Days of Happiness. In another film, a shot of a character ascending a set of stairs behind a room divider leaves only her heels visible, which allows a character with this profession to realize (15[1])who they are (15[1])after earlier seeing them (15[1]-5[1])in a bathroom. That character with this profession vomits outside after accidentally going to a (*) brothel in the Philippines, where the women inside are arranged much (10[1])like (10[1])those she oversees in this profession. Late into that film, the brother of that character with this profession reveals that her first name is actually Linda. For 10 points, name this profession held by the main character of Todd Field’s Tár. ■END■
