ABOUT ‘WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED’

Shot in striking black and white, the dark dramedy follows 67-year-old Socorro—portrayed by Luisa Huertas in a tour-de-force performance—a retired lawyer obsessed with finding the soldier who killed her brother during the student protests of October 2, 1968, when university students demanding democracy and justice were brutally repressed by government forces in Mexico City’s Plaza de las Tres Culturas.

Nearly six decades later, her lifelong fixation has strained her relationships with her sister, Esperanza, and her son, Jorge. When a new clue emerges, Socorro embarks on a risky plan to avenge her brother’s death—putting her family, her legacy, and her own life in jeopardy.
