New Year's Eve of the Millennium
15 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
It's the last night of the year. Pregnant Paloma and her husband, Manuel, are preparing to go to her parent's home to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Paloma and Manuel live in the outskirts of Madrid, in what appears to be a new development where nothing appears to be much populated yet. Manuel, who has borrowed a delivery van from a friend, is not prepared for the vehicle to stall in the middle of nowhere. What to do?

This quick paced comedy, written and directed by Miguel Albaladejo, touches on the lives of several different people that fateful New Year's Eve. It all takes place in the hours before midnight as everyone is getting ready for the celebration. Unfortunately, for the people we meet in the picture, they are not going to have a great time at a party, but they will come closer as Paloma gives birth right after the Millennium has arrived.

Leonor Watling and Juanjo Martinez appear as Paloma and Manuel, the expecting parents. Carlos Fuentes and Roberto Hernandez are seen as the men who steal Paloma's father car. Adriana Osores and Antonia San Juan have some funny moments as the attendants of a gas station/convenience store. Emilio Gutierrez Caba is Paloma's father.

This production was part of several films commissioned by a French movie company with the theme of the arrival of the Millennium.
