Territoires cinématographiques is a space for dialogue between the performing arts and cinema, created in collaboration with Avignon's Utopia cinemas. It's a daily gathering of film screenings, at the end of which the public meets and exchanges with theater artists, choreographers, filmmakers, activists, critics and journalists invited to the Festival d'Avignon. It's a space designed to explore the intimate relationships these guests maintain between disciplines and with the world. It's a place where we can take a closer look, both large and small, at the themes brought to the stage, the territories of the guest language, and under the plane trees of the Café des idées.

Overqualified and overworked, Rita uses her talents as a lawyer to work for a big firm that is more interested in laundering criminals than serving the law. But an unexpected way out is opening up for her: to help cartel boss Manitas get out of the business and carry out the plan he has been hatching in secret for years: to finally become the woman he has always dreamed of being.
Official selection of the Cannes Festival 2024.
