The Dead Don’t Hurt it is described as “a tragic story of love and revenge” and “a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world ruled by ruthless men.” This is how Mortensen describes the film and its protagonist:

I want to pay tribute to the story of an extraordinarily strong woman living in an isolated and lawless part of the Southwestern United States in the 1860s. The idea is not only to make the woman the protagonist of the western, but also to make her drive the story because of her fiercely unyielding nature. Vivienne is a real woman, independent in her time and place, thanks to her principled and progressive behavior and passion for life. We are very fortunate to have the talented Vicki Krips embodying this role, and with the help of the fantastic team we have assembled thanks to Talipot Studio, we hope to honor her exemplary life.
