This Spanish-French co-production is another in
Haut &
Court's series of French features interlinked with an "end of the Millennium" theme. On New Year's Eve 1999, social worker Manuel (
Juanjo Martinez) and his pregnant wife Paloma (
Leonor Watling) leave for a party without knowing that Paloma's father (
Emilio Gutierrez Caba) is coming over to give them a ride. His car is stolen by slow-witted Litri (
Roberto Hernandez) and his pal Johny (
Carlos Fuentes), who intends to use the vehicle to impress his girlfriend Jasmina (
Mariola Fuentes). However, Jasmina, waiting at a phone booth, meets Paloma's dad, so Johny gets an unexpected surprise when he pulls up in the car. Elsewhere, two female workers at an all-night gas station have romantic fantasies about their customers. Shot on locations in Madrid, the
Lucio Godoy soundtrack score features French-style accordion music. Shown at the 1998
Malaga Film Festival.
