Multiple love stories unfold in Barcelona during Christmas's Eve.
Donald is a Nigerian immigrant who after being expelled from Spain three years ago, has returned to meet again with Teresa, with whom he had a secret love affair. But on arrival he finds that she has married and is mother of a child. However, the return of Donald wakes strong contradictions in her. By chance, Donald starts working in the garage of Carmen, where Antonio also works, who ignores what happened between his wife and his new partner. Francisco, a foreman of the town and Carmen's suitor, cannot stand the situation. The tension between these frustrated passions ends up playing a key role in the outcome of a seemingly impossible love.
"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.
Spain 1952. The country lies in the grip of Franco's ruthless dictatorship. In a Spanish police station, Francesc Viel, a left-wing republican, is forced to recount his past.
David just moved into his new apartment when he receives an unexpected visit from two neighbours. What at first seems like a mere courtesy call soon reveals itself to be something more sinister.
