Red Shoes

At a remote location in the mountains of Mexico lives Artemio, a farmer who is watching the desolate plot of land on which he works and his life itself slip from his fingers. When he receives shocking news, he decides to set off for the city in search of deliverance, but finds himself having to deal with a brutal world that is completely unknown to him.

Directed by Carlos Eichelmann Kaiser, Red Shoes leans on a strong ensemble — Eustacio Ascacio, Natalia Solián, Rosa Irine Herrera — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
