Cannes Film Festival 2024:

- Jury Prize

- Best Actress Award for the four actresses starring in the film

🇺🇸 Overqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice.

One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realize a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.

🇫🇷 Surqualifiée et surexploitée, Rita use de ses talents d’avocate au service d’un gros cabinet plus enclin à blanchir des criminels qu’à servir la justice. Mais une porte de sortie inespérée s’ouvre à elle, aider le chef de cartel Manitas à se retirer des affaires et réaliser le plan qu’il peaufine en secret depuis des années : devenir enfin la femme qu’il a toujours rêvé d’être.

TINT Gallery: 2-Year Anniversary Celebration and Fall Exhibition!

DUAL NATURES

Sculptor Marie Barthès, based in Paris, France, and painter Magaly Sánchez, from Lima, Peru, express the dualities they find in nature through their respective media. Order and disorder, softness and roughness, the manmade and the natural. All stems from the smallest cells. Starting from the same themes and observations, Barthès’ and Sánchez’s works diverge from there, ultimately expressing their individual natures as artists, in TINT’s fall exhibition “Dual Natures.”
