Synopsis : Rita, a talented but overlooked lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, is approached by the feared Mexican cartel leader, Juan "Little Hands" Del Monte, for an extraordinary task. Manitas, as he's known, has been planning for years to leave his criminal empire behind and live as Emilia, the woman he’s always dreamed of being. In a bold plan to fake his death and undergo sex-reassignment surgery, Rita becomes part of a transformative journey that connects three women in a musical odyssey across Mexico, each seeking their true identity and happiness.
