What happens
Barrios bajos (The Slums) is a 1937 Spanish black-and-white film directed by Pedro Puche. It is a melodrama that has been noted to possess some formal elements that foreshadowed neorealist cinema. It was produced by a team of the anarchist Union of the Entertainment Industry Films (SIE Films) while film production in Barcelona was collectivized by the CNT. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
