Spinnin' is a wonderfully exuberant, multi-layered Spanish drama. A tale for adults in 101 kisses.

Madrid, 1995. Garate and Omar are young, gay and in love, and want to have a child. After failed attempts with their female pals, they befriend Raquel, a pregnant woman whose partner has died of Aids. Spinnin' is a wildly entertaining, inventive and cheeky film that throws the audience into the midst of these friends' chaotic lives, and celebrates being alive. Garate and Omar are surrounded by a host of colourful characters: from new-born babies to Garate's 60-plus father who is falling in love again; to a couple who are either kissing each other or fighting - both with equal passion, and many, many others. There's never a dull moment in this whirlwind of a film and you’ll soon find yourself surrendering to its charms.

Joyously anarchic in the manner in which it dares to dream for something better, yet unashamedly sentimental in its belief that that dream is happening now Spinnin’ is a free-wheeling head-trip of a movie.
