Socorro is a retired lawyer consumed by her obsession to find the soldier who killed her brother nearly 60 years ago, during the student protests of October 2, 1968 in Mexico City’s Tlatelolco Square. Moving through her days under the weight of financial strain and unspoken grief, a new clue surfaces, and Socorro sets out on a perilous quest for vengeance. Blending realism with moments of symbolic rupture, Saint-Martin delivers a powerful and intimate reflection on the enduring wounds of Mexico’s modern history.
