Emilia Pérez

Synopsis

 From celebrated filmmaker Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust and Bone), EMILIA PÉREZ is a genre-defying musical odyssey set against Mexican cartel land. Overworked lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña, Colombiana), is hired by notorious drug lord Manitas Del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón) to help him disappear and live authentically as Emilia Pérez, the woman he has always dreamt of being. Unbeknownst to Manitas’ wife Jessi (Selena Gomez, Spring Breakers), Rita arranges secret surgeries and fakes Manitas' death. But as Emilia begins a new life, the past threatens to unravel their carefully crafted plans. A bold and gripping exploration of identity and transformation, Audiard’s acclaimed latest won both the Cannes Jury Prize and the Best Actress award for its dazzling ensemble cast.
