Title: Kilómetro Cero (Kilometer Zero)
Released: 2000
Kilometer Zero is the story of 14 lives that intersect at Plaza de sol in Madrid on hot summer day in August. Through chance meetings and mistaken identities, the chararters form and rediscover relationships. The movie weaves together six storylines, and does a great job of bringing the stories together at the end to provide a funny climax for the movie. The stories are each enough to make a decent movie on their own, but slicing them together ends up producing a little less development in each story but a funny original movie in total. At times the production felt a little weak or the plot a little predictable, but overall this is a solid, funny film.
The Spanish in this movie is fairly easy to understand - the accents are not overly powerful and the characters speak at a reasonable pace. The fun story keeps the movie interesting and makes it fun to try to keep up with the Spanish in the movie. This movie is highly recommended as a learning tool, and less so as a movie.
