Adorable romantic comedy that examines a year in the life, from birthday to birthday, of a lonely single woman whose friends are all gay men. While she looks for the cure for her solitude, her best friend in the world becomes obsessed with a manipulative fitness instructor against her best advice. Light and fluffy, this film is blessed with appealing actors, loveable characters and a witty pace that clips along without a hitch. Loles León, best known for her work in Pedro Almodovar’s films, is wonderful in the lead role.
