Rita (Zoe Saldaña) is a highly skilled but unappreciated lawyer working for a shady law firm that defends criminals, murderers, and abusers. One night, Rita is kidnapped by ruthless cartel lord "Manitas" del Monte (Karla Sofia Gascón), who seeks to fake their own death, undergo gender affirming surgery, and start a new life as a woman. Reemerging into society as Emilia Pérez, the former cartel leader hopes to reunite with her children and wife Jessi (Selena Gomez), who have no idea that she is still alive. With its four lead actresses winning Best Actress at Cannes and Vulture calling it "fearless in its ridiculousness...a cross between Mrs. Doubtfire and Sicario reimagined as a musical," Emilia Pérez is a film unlike anything we've seen recently.

In Spanish, English, and French with English subtitles.
