Emilia Perez

Manitas del Monte, the ferocious baron of a powerful Mexican cartel, has decided to radically change his life. Raised in a macho, patriarchal, and criminal environment, he has suppressed his inner self for years. But it's never too late to become a woman. To fulfill his greatest desire, he kidnaps Rita Moro Castro, a brilliant young lawyer working for a large law firm, more interested in acquitting criminals than serving justice. Manitas recruits Rita to manage his transition and future: faking his death with his wife and children and starting over elsewhere. Then Manitas becomes Emilia, but the past struggles to fade, as do her remorse. Returning to Mexico, five years later, she resolves to reclaim her family and return the bodies of its martyrs to her country. But a matter of the heart will thunder a storm.
