Kiss of the Spider Woman

In Argentina in May 1983, Luis Molina, a trans woman who works as a window dresser and has been convicted of public indecency for same-sex acts, is moved to the same cell as Valentín Arregui, a political dissident involved with a revolutionary group. Though initially irritated by Molina's flamboyance and chatterbox personality, Valentín lets Molina tell him the plot of her favorite film, the Hollywood musical The Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Ingrid Luna, who is portrayed by Jennifer Lopez as Aurora, a successful magazine publisher and popular bachelorette. As they form an unlikely bond, Molina recounts the fantastical world of the imaginary South American country in the film, where Aurora falls instantly in love with photographer Valentín Arregui (played by Diego Luna), amidst danger from gangster Johnny Desiderio.
