What is Ema about?

Ema is a magnetic and impulsive dancer in a reggaeton troupe. Her toxic marriage to choreographer Gastón is beyond repair, following a decision to give up on their adopted child Polo. She sets out on a mission to get him back, not caring who she’ll need to fight, seduce or destroy to make it happen.

Ema is a 2019 Chilean drama film directed by Pablo Larraín from a screenplay written by Guillermo Calderón and Alejandro Moreno. The cast includes Gael García Bernal, Mariana di Girolamo, Paula Luchsinger, Cristián Suárez, Paola Giannini, and Santiago Cabrera. The film explores the adoption process from the parents' perspective, raising questions about the concept of family.
