Ein Filmstudent sucht die Freundin seiner Schwester und begegnet einer Hure, ein Callboy wird mit seiner vermeintlichen Mutter konfrontiert, ein Barbesitzer muss seine derzeitige und die zukünftige Freundin bei Laune halten. Kurzum: Männer, Frauen, Homos und Heteros, Offenherzige und Verklemmte erleben einen einzigartigen Tag, der ihr Leben verändert. Ein Tag, wie er nur bei 46 Grad Celsius am Kilometro zero möglich ist.
In der leidenschaftlichen Screwball-Komödie verwickeln Yolanda Garcia Serrano und Juan Luis Iborra ihre feurigen Protagonisten in hinreißend skurrile Szenarien. Mal erotisch, mal unterkühlt verabreden, begegnen und verpassen sich diverse Paare. Vor dem Schauplatz des beliebten Treffpunkts in der Innenstadt Madrids sezieren die Filmemacher mit lustvoller Respektlosigkeit gängige homo- und heterosexuelle Beziehungsklischees.
Located in Madrid's Plaza del Sol, Km. 0 is the point from which all distances in Spain are measured from the capital. In Km. 0, it is also the meeting point for a gallery of characters. Bored, affluent housewife Marga meets up with gigolo Miguel, who co-habitates with gay Benjamin. Sergio, a soon-to-be-married office clerk who can't wait to lose his virginity, makes the acquaintance of prostitute Tatiana, while gay dancer Bruno meets Maximo. Meanwhile, wannabe director Pedro arranges to meet up with Silvia, an actress who wants to work in musicals directed by Gerardo, and bartender Mario is caught between Amor, who wants to marry him, and her little sister Roma, who is truly in love with him.
