Km. 0 is a 2000 Spanish romantic comedy film directed by Juan Luis Iborra and Yolanda García Serrano. The storyline revolves around the lives of nine different characters from Madrid, whose paths have all led them to Kilometer Zero, which is the central point located in the Puerta del Sol plaza in Madrid, Spain. The film starts with Víctor (Georges Corraface), who is a Bulgarian who has just arrived in Madrid, working as a taxi driver. He picks up Sonia (Silke), a stripper who is on her way to audition for a role in a theater production. Sonia tells Víctor that her audition is at Kilometer Zero, which sets off a chain of events that brings all of the characters to that same place.

The other characters include Pedro (Carlos Fuentes), a lawyer who is in a secret relationship with Miguel (Concha Velasco), a married woman. There’s also Mario (Alberto San Juan), a writer who is struggling to get published while he deals with a complicated love triangle between his girlfriend, Marina (Mercè Pons), and his best friend, Pablo (El Gran Wyoming). Additionally, there’s a Ukrainian woman named Tatiana (Adriana Ozores), who is looking for true love and a chance to start a new life.

As the film progresses, the various characters interact with each other in different ways, each story weaving in and out of the others. Víctor and Sonia’s relationship develops as they navigate through various difficulties, including Sonia’s ex-boyfriend, Victor’s inexperience with love and relationships, and the fact that they come from completely different backgrounds. Meanwhile, Pedro and Miguel struggle to keep their relationship a secret, while Mario finds himself torn between his feelings for Marina and Pablo.

The film is filmed in a non-linear way, with each character's story interwoven into the others. This format makes it interesting for the viewer as they have to watch each part of the story closely to piece the entire puzzle together.

The film balances comedy and drama incredibly well, and the comedic moments are well-timed and well-executed. The acting in the film is also exceptional, with standout performances from Concha Velasco as Miguel and Georges Corraface as Víctor.
