The story follows Juan Del Monte, a Mexican cartel leader who fakes his death to transition to a woman and live as Emilia Pérez. Enlisting the help of Rita, a disillusioned lawyer, Emilia navigates challenges as she starts a new life. The narrative is woven with 16 original musical numbers, blending drama, humor, and heartfelt moments.
The film was shot in multiple locations across Mexico and Switzerland, emphasizing the stark contrast between the gritty cartel world and Emilia’s new life.
