Since making his directing debut in 1994 with the taut crime thriller See How They Fall, Jacques Audiard has come to be regarded as one of France's finest filmmakers. From the searing underworld dramas Read My Lips, The Beat That My Heart Skipped and A Prophet to his Palme d'Or-winning Dheepan, about Sri Lankan refugees living in France, alongside his relationship drama Rust and Bone, the Western The Sisters Brothers and heartbreakingly romantic Paris,13th District, Audiard deftly plays with the conventions of genre, infusing them with new vitality.
Overqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realize a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.
