Nos persiguen

In the midst of the silenced 1950s Puerto Rican revolution for independence, 16-year-old Celia is kept in the dark by her family. As she ruminates about the oppressive status of the Island, her questions are left unanswered. The family of three women are forced to face the fatal reality of their surroundings after Celia's classmate, Matías, arrives at their home with his father, Emilio, who is gravely injured from a gunshot. After realizing the boy and his father are active members of the revolution, tensions arise as they decide to hide them from the police. Matías lights a spark in Celia, who rebels against her family and becomes part of the revolution.

Directed by Paulis Cofresí, Nos persiguen leans on a strong ensemble — Veronika Pérez, Ilán Guerrero, Magali Carrasquillo — 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 2023.
