The trailer which dropped on June 18 saw lawyer Rita Moro Castro (Saldaña) receiving an offer to help a dangerous drug lord who faked his death and transitioned into becoming a woman to avoid his past life. Unfortunately, this dream did not last long as he started missing his wife and two kids in Mexico.
A sure way to be reunited with them will be to pretend to be a long-lost relative which the lawyer Rita was to help with. Altogether the movie promises to be a block buster as it received 11 minute long ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.
