Friend Zone (Spanish: Pagafantas, roughly "Drinkbuyer") is a 2009 Spanish film directed by Borja Cobeaga and starring Gorka Otxoa and Sabrina Garciarena.

Plot

Chema (Gorka Otxoa) has dumped his longtime girlfriend because he thinks he can do better, but so far he's not being quite successful when trying to date new girls. So when he meets Claudia (Sabrina Garciarena) he thinks his luck has changed. She's pretty, funny, and seems interested in him. This apparent luck runs out when Sebastián (Michel Brown), Claudia's actual boyfriend, comes over from Argentina and it becomes apparent that Claudia only wants Chema as her friend, so he's faced with the choice of ditching a girl he doesn't stand a chance of getting, or waiting for the opportunity to present itself.[2]
