Event description
Winner of the Jury and Best Actress at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Emilia Perez is a swaggering musical crime thriller, with a story line that’s audacious, unique and utterly absorbing. Set in modern-day Mexico, the story begins when an overqualified and undervalued lawyer, Rita (Zoë Saldaña), receives an unexpected brief, to help a cartel leader withdraw from his business and realise a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being. The change sets in train a series of events that will draw the four women into each other’s worlds, at first harmoniously, but then, as the past begins to catch up, everything Rita has worked to build begins to unravel.
