Socorro, a 67-year-old retired lawyer, lost her brother in the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre in Mexico. Decades later, she remains consumed by the obsession of finding the soldier who killed him. This fixation deeply fractures her relationships with her sister Esperanza and her son Jorge. A crucial clue that surfaces nearly fifty years later propels Socorro onto a dangerous path in pursuit of revenge. In the director’s debut feature, Luisa Huertas’s commanding performance and striking black-and-white cinematography lend the film a poetic force, deepening the tension between the pursuit of justice and responsibility to family.
