Overqualified and underappreciated, lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out when the drug lord Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón) hires her to help him realise his secret plan. Manitas wants to withdraw from the cartel, embrace her true self and finally become a woman. Then there are Manitas’ children and wife Jessi (Selena Gomez). This year’s French Oscar contender is a lavish and challenging pop opera marking the directorial comeback of Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust and Bone, Dheepan) after nine years. Premiering in Cannes, the perennial Cannes-favourite Audiard’s latest feature received the Jury Prize and the Best Actress award (Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Adriana Paz).
