Ahead of its UK release exclusively on Mubi this May, a poster and trailer have been released for director Pablo Larraín’s (No, Jackie) upcoming drama Ema which stars Mariana Di Girolamo and Gael García Bernal as a couple dealing with the aftermath of an adoption that goes awry; take a look here…
Ema (Di Girolamo) is a young dancer in a reggaeton troupe: effortlessly magnetic and dangerously impulsive. Her toxic marriage to older choreographer Gastón (Gael García Bernal) is beyond repair, following a rash decision to hand their adopted child Polo back into the hands of the state. Racked with regret, she sets out on a mission to get her son back, not caring who she’ll need to fight, seduce or destroy to make it happen.
Ema arrives on Mubi on May 2nd.
