Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language French musical crime drama film directed by Jacques Audiard. The film follows Mexican lawyer Rita Mora Castro (Zoe Saldana), who is approached by a gender dysphoric cartel kingpin who wishes to undergo gender-affirming surgery and start a new life as a woman. As the kingpin, now living as "Emilia Pérez" (Karla Sofía Gascón), re-encounters Rita four years later with a special request, the lives of the two and the people around them take an unexpected turn that threatens to change everything. The film premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for and won multiple awards despite mixed reception and controversy surrounding its portrayal of Mexico and transgender people.
