Socorro (67) is a stubborn lawyer in the twilight of her life obsessed with the idea of finding the soldier that killed her brother back in 1968 during the infamous “Tlatelolco massacre”. This obsession has affected her relationship with her sister Esperanza (70) and her son Jorge (45). Suddenly, she receives the missing clue to locate the military man and decides to carry out an absurd operation to avenge the death of her brother risking her legacy, her family, and her own life.

Director statement

The origin of this story comes from my mother’s memories and experiences regarding the mysterious death of my uncle Jorge during the autumn of 1968. WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED it´s a story about revenge and forgiveness in a country historically thirsty for justice. It is also a tribute to my mother and other families who have lost someone because of violence and those that have lost their way to peace.


Ganadora del premio Mezcal a mejor película mexicana y del premio del público en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Guadalajara FICG.

Socorro (67) es una testaruda abogada obsesionada con encontrar al soldado que mató a su hermano durante la masacre estudiantil de 1968 en Tlatelolco, Ciudad de México. Esta necesidad de justicia enmascara una antigua culpa que la ha enemistado con su hermana Esperanza (70) y su hijo Jorge (45). Después de décadas de espera, recibe la pista faltante para encontrar al soldado, lo que la lleva a conjurar un absurdo plan de venganza poniendo en riesgo su patrimonio, su familia, e incluso su vida.

Palabras del director

El origen de esta historia se remonta a los recuerdos y vivencias de mi madre sobre la misteriosa muerte de mi tío Jorge durante el otoño de 1968. ‘No nos moverán’ es una historia de venganza y perdón en un país históricamente sediento de justicia. También es un homenaje a mi madre y otras familias que han perdido a alguien a causa de la violencia y que han perdido el camino hacia la paz.
