Award-winning, quirky and fantastic gangster story with musical elements

Lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) is a small light in a big firm: overqualified but underrepresented. Drug dealers, murderers and cartel bosses owe their freedom to her intelligence. Her always corruptible boss basks in the glare of the spotlight. One day, she is offered a way out: cartel boss Manitas del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón) wants her help to get out of the mafia world. Rita is to draw a line under his dubious life's work, organize a new life for his wife Jessi (Selena Gomez) and children and implement a plan that he has been preparing in secret for years: to transform himself completely into the woman he has always been deep down: EMILIA PÉREZ. But Manitas' past is a story that only obeys its own rules, which will return and take its revenge with a vengeance.

Nothing less than a unique cinematic revelation is this masterpiece with a magnificent star cast, which was awarded two prizes in Cannes.
