Lawyer Rita is a small light in a big firm: overqualified but underrepresented. Drug dealers, murderers and cartel bosses owe their freedom to her intelligence. Her boss, who is always corrupt, basks in the glare of the spotlight. One day she is offered a way out: cartel boss Manitas del Monte wants to leave the mafia world with her help. Rita is to draw a line under his dubious life's work, organize a new life for his wife Jessi and the children and implement a plan that he has been preparing in secret for years: to transform himself completely into the woman he has always been deep down: Emilia Pérez. But Manitas' past is a story that only obeys its own rules, which will return and take its revenge with a vengeance. Nothing less than a unique cinematic revelation is this epochal masterpiece with a magnificent star cast, which was awarded two prizes at Cannes. With this formally revolutionary story about the absolute freedom of self-discovery, multi-award-winning director Jacques Audiard writes himself into history once and for all. A grandiose show full of vitality and energy that captivates all the senses, casts a spell and celebrates the power of cinema more passionately than ever before.
