The exhibition, commissioned by Abigail Aguirre and to be seen until May 5, shows twenty-seven sets of costumes made by Clara Bilbao for this film and which is a key narrative element to know and deepen the nature of the characters of 'La sombra de la ley 'and also to recreate the political and social situation of the Barcelona of 1921. A situation marked by the continuous street confrontations between gunmen, anarchists, and corrupt police, which manages to transport the viewer to the atmosphere of black cinema at the most pure classic style.
