“Passion has a new name.”

Why would the head of a cartel call a lawyer nobody notices? Rita (Zoe Saldaña) spends her days at a large firm that prefers freeing criminals to convicting them, and then Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón) hires her for a job that has nothing to do with court. Jacques Audiard turns it into a Spanish-language musical, and the price of the plan is a life Rita and the rest must carry.
