The film, which dropped on Netflix recently, follows trans Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón as Pérez, the head of a Mexican cartel who wants to undergo gender-affirming surgery. She believes she has to fake her own death to escape her past. She enlists high-powered lawyer Rita Mora Castro (Star Trek's Zoe Saldaña) to help her disappear, leaving behind wife Jessi (Gomez) and two children.
The song continues as a sort of gender-affirming surgery checklist, with the doctor asking whether Emilia will be requiring mammoplasty, vaginoplasty, rhinoplasty and laryngoplasty. Viewers have reacted with disbelief on social media, particularly considering the film is believed to be in contention for Oscar nominations.
'Hello, very nice to meet you, I'd like to know about sex-change operation,' Saldaña sings, with the doctor responding: 'Man to woman or woman to man?' When he's told 'man to woman,' the doctor comes out with: 'From penis to vagina.'
