In Km. 0, it is also the meeting point for a gallery of characters. Bored, affluent housewife Marga (Concha Velasco) meets up with gigolo Miguel (Jesus Cabrero), who co-habitates with gay Benjamin (Miquel Garcia). Sergio, a soon-to-be-married office clerk who can't wait to lose his virginity, makes the acquaintance of prostitute Tatiana (Elisa Matilla), while gay dancer Bruno (Victor Ullate Jr.) meets Maximo (Armando delRio). Meanwhile, wannabe director Pedro (Carlos Fuentes) arranges to meet up with Silvia (Merce Pons), an actress who wants to work in musicals directed by Gerardo (George Corraface), and bartender Mario (Tristan Ulloa) is caught between Amor (Silke), who wants to marry him, and her little sister Roma (Cora Tiedra), who is truly in love with him. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
It's all rather familiar and sitcomy. But its silliness is its salvation.
-
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News
Offers a liberating glimpse at a society that's full of hope.
-
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
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.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
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.
-
Marta Barber, Miami Herald
One shallow film, that quickly returns to where it started: Zero.
