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. Sound conventional? Spinnin' is anything but.
Acting
Tous and Fernández sell chaotic devotion like their lives depend on it.
Writing
Refuses easy redemption arcs; characters stay stubbornly, beautifully flawed.
Director
Eusebio Pastrana
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of early-2000s Spanish queer cinema—post-Almodóvar, pre-Pride commercialization—when gay stories could still be genuinely unpolished.
The title 'Spinnin'' refers to DJ culture and emotional vertigo; the film's structure mimics a record skipping, looping back to the same conflicts without resolution.
