  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 G'rate (Alejandro Tous) and Omar (Olav Fern'ndez) 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.
