Emilia Pérez, a film directed by Jacques Audiard, will be released in select theaters on November 1 before streaming on Netflix starting November 13 in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

The film, with which Audiard won the Jury Prize at Cannes, tells the story of the powerful lawyer Rita, played by Zoe Saldaña, who accepts an unexpected task: helping a leader of a Mexican cartel to fake his death and submit to sex reassignment operations to become Emilia Pérez.

Pérez is played by Karla Sofía Gascón and the cast is completed by Selena Gómez, in the role of the capo’s wife turned woman, Adriana Paz, who plays Epifanía, and Édgar Ramírez, who plays Gustavo.
