Overview

Located in Madrid's Plaza del Sol, Km. 0 is the point from which all distances in Spain are measured from the capital. In Km. 0, it is also the meeting point for a gallery of characters. Bored, affluent housewife Marga meets up with gigolo Miguel, who co-habitates with gay Benjamin. Sergio, a soon-to-be-married office clerk who can't wait to lose his virginity, makes the acquaintance of prostitute Tatiana, while gay dancer Bruno meets Maximo. Meanwhile, wannabe director Pedro arranges to meet up with Silvia, an actress who wants to work in musicals directed by Gerardo, and bartender Mario is caught between Amor, who wants to marry him, and her little sister Roma, who is truly in love with him.

It's all rather familiar and sitcomy. But its silliness is its salvation.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh

Offers a liberating glimpse at a society that's full of hope.

Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News
Rotten

Sexy, bold, exotic and fun in some ways, but still stuck with a lackluster style and pedestrian plot that brand it as everyday entertainment fare.

Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Rotten

The actors attack their roles with a lot of energy, and the story moves along at a brisk pace. That's a big plus, because if it ever slowed down, we'd have too much time to think about how silly it is.

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

One shallow film, that quickly returns to where it started: Zero.
