Synopsis: French auteur Jacques Audiard (Rust and Bone, A Prophet) offers up an audacious musical fever dream that defies genre and expectation as it tracks the lives of four remarkable women in Mexico. The story centers on high-powered lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) who takes on an unexpected assignment: helping Emilia, a Mexican cartel leader (Karla Sofìa Gascón) fake their death and undergo gender-affirmation surgery. Rita’s meticulous planning ensures the daring plan is a success, but Emilia can’t stand to be away from her wife Jessi (Selena Gomez) and their kids. When Emilia decides to return to Mexico assuming a hidden identity, everyone’s lives are turned upside down. The wild, frenetic, and darkly humorous film is part crime-drama and part dazzling musical, with a healthy dash of soap opera styling thrown in for good measure. Career-defining performances from Saldana, Gomez, and Adriana Paz power the film, but its beating heart is unequivocally Karla Sofía Gascón, whose star turn lead her to become the first openly trans actor to win a major award at the Cannes film festival.
