Lawyer Rita works for a big firm where her talents are underused. One day, she receives the distinct proposal to help a feared cartel leader disappear so that he can start a new life. The man plots to undergo sex surgery and finally become the woman he has wanted to be for years."A feared cartel boss secretly comes out of the closet as a trans woman. It is the equally absurd and original premise of French director Audiard's (De rouille et d'os) new film: an unpredictable cinematic cocktail of musical, crime film and gender drama. Drug baron Manitas (Gascón), who later goes through life as Emilia Pérez, gets help from lawyer Rita (Saldana) in her gender-affirming transition, which even wife Jessi (Gomez) is not allowed to know about. Audiard is not the most suitable narrator for a film about a trans woman, which becomes painfully obvious at times, but the award-winning lead actresses are downright fantastic in this highly unconventional film."
