It's a big movie that Netflix has... unless you have a local Netflix which doesn't have it.
Emilia wants to fully transition, and hires Rita to get it done. However, she was the head of a rather nasty cartel, and has a family, so she now has to face not being in her children's lives as a parent, and coming up against the consequences of her past actions. There's a lot of good things happening... until there is.
Now this is a musical we should be talking about. Zoe Saldana is putting her limited Spanish into play (she herself said she wasn't happy with her Spanish), as Rita, who occassionally breaks into song and/or dance. As does Selena Gomez. But the main start is Karla Sofía Gascón as Emilia, an actual trans actor playing a trans character. This is what representation is supposed to be, people!
While full on, it does get rather unpleasent at times, but it is always watchable. And watch you should, if you can.
