This project has required the service of the Peris Costumes tailoring team and had included on our stock of costumes and uinforms to bring the story of the film to life.

Inspired by real events, it is a story of friendship, solidarity, and freedom. The action starts in Barcelona’s Modelo prison, where Manuel (Miguel Herrán), a young accountant awaiting trial for misappropriation of funds, faces a sentence of 6 to 8 years, a disproportionate punishment for the crime he has committed.
