A big law firm does mostly work for serious criminals. Rita does work there, but she is actually too good for the job and besides, she is hardly appreciated. Mexican drug lord Manitas Del Monte makes her an offer she cannot refuse, as she will never have to work again afterwards. Del Monte wants to get out of the world and leave his empire behind. For a mafia boss, he does have a very special wish: to finally become the woman he has always wanted to be: Emilia Pérez.
"...but for the lover of bold cinema that straddles the line between arthouse and mainstream, this is an enthralling treat." (FilmTotaal)
