'L'Alqueria Blanca’ ('The White Village') proposes a journey through time, up to the 1960s, which reflects the life of an inland village, in the Alcoià county. The atmosphere is eminently rural and is marked by the great differences between the two most representative families of the place, the Falcó and the Pedreguer, who star in a series of stories with love above the class difference, envy, jealousy and scandal. It all comes down to some unstoppable advances in society.

Monica (Beatriz Luengo), a teenager falls in love with his philosophy professor. Idealizes his feelings, fantasize and invent all kinds of childish tricks to make Fernando (Anibal Soto) pay attention to her. Fernando, meanwhile, appears to lead a married life orderly while maintaining a secret relationship with Diana, the director of the school.

"Escuela de seducción" is an acceptable comedy which deals, for the umpteenth time, with the war of the sexes using misunderstandings and fake personalities as dramatic resources. The premise is by no means original, but this is something most films lack nowadays, and therefore the result could have been more than acceptable.
