It's Madrid in the heat of summer. An assortment of couples have arranged anonymous assignations at the same time and same well-known landmark: the geographical centre of Spain; known as kilometre zero. Predictably, they all end up with the wrong partners, and this clever little plot device allows us to follow several separate but interwoven stories as they unfold. The cute young country boy gets a warm city welcome; the hooker gets a 'pretty woman' make-over; the straight boy gets a bit bent; the hunky hustler finds a sugar-mama and a couple of gay guys find true love. Others gain closure for long-term issues, and in general everyone, viewers included, gets the warm and fuzzy treatment. There's even a beautiful title song at the end to set your flamenco fans fluttering.
