Jacques Audiard’s musical drama, titled Emilia Pérez , tells the tale of Zoe Saldaña’s character, Rita, a lawyer who’s nearly overwhelmed by her own success. She has recently defended a murderer, though she’s aware of his guilt. Suddenly, she receives an unexpected phone call from a cryptic, gravelly voice, asking for a meeting. Transported to an undisclosed location, Rita encounters Juan “Manitas” Del Monte, the ruthless leader of a drug cartel, who bears tattoos reminiscent of a tough guy but requests a delicate, profitable task: he wants Rita to arrange his gender transition surgery and subsequent disappearance. Rita carries out the plan successfully, with Manitas re-emerging years later as Emilia Pérez (portrayed by Karla Sofía Gascón in dual roles). Now living authentically, she embarks on a new life. However, Rita believes her mission is complete, unaware that it’s merely starting anew.
