🎬Ema

Ema is a fiercely independent reggaeton dancer in Valparaíso whose marriage to older choreographer Gastón crumbles after a traumatizing adoption incident forces them to return their young son, Polo. Consumed by guilt and social stigma, Ema embarks on an intoxicating personal crusade to reclaim her child and rewrite her own family dynamic. Unleashing her fluid sexual magnetism, she strategically seduces both Polo's new adoptive parents in an audacious, subversive ploy to reconstruct an unconventional, liberation-focused domestic life in this electrifying Chilean independent queer cinema production.
