Spinnin' on DVD

Description

From rising auteur Eusebio Pastrana comes this tapestry of love stories set against the colourful backdrop of Madrid in 1995 re-imagined here as a city where cynicism doesn't exist. At the heart of the film are Gárate (Alejandro Tous) and Omar (Olav Fernández), a gay couple looking for a woman to mother their child. The obstacles they face are often achingly realistic, yet their story also presents a utopian vision of a world in which all couples whether gay, straight, or in between can reside happily within the full spectrum of modern families. Starting with the goal of capturing 100 different kinds of kisses, Spinnin sets off on a cinematic flight of fancy complete with dance sequences and slapstick humour that constantly toys with the viewer's expectations. Thanks to a handsome cast of characters, a loving portrayal of the Spanish capital, and a playful soundtrack, Pastrana's award-winning debut is bound to keep viewers smiling one way or another.
