Overeducated and underappreciated, Rita (Zoe Saldana) is a lawyer at a large firm more interested in freeing criminals than bringing them to justice. One day, she gets an unexpected way out when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him retire from his business and carry out a plan she has secretly been working on and dreaming about for years: to become a woman.

The film was awarded Best Actress (Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz) and the Jury Prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
