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.

Driven by an electrifying original score by Nicolas Jaar and a reggaeton tracklist plucked straight from the streets of Valparaíso, Larraín’s latest is thrillingly defiant and palpably fresh. The film screened In Competition at 2019 Venice Film Festival.

The film also stars Paola Giannini, and Santiago Cabrera.

The free preview of EMA can be streamed on the web and iOS devices and will be available in the UK and Ireland from 12am BST on May 1. More information on how to watch can be found at mubi.com/ema. Officially  the film will be released on May 2 in the UK and Ireland, India, Canada, and multiple other countries. On May 8 in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland.
