Abstract

On a few occasions it has been seen in the Plaza de Mayo filled with souls in a climate that overflows with hullabaloo. Paradoxically, on two occasions, that expression of spontaneity motivated by a banal nationalism present in Argentine society, by the last civil-military dictatorship (1978 and 1982). Particularly, on April 2, 1982 and with a dictatorial regime cornered by different fronts, society rushed to get out of their homes to approach that historical point of reference in order to support the recovery of the Malvinas Islands. However, such a romance did not last until after the fateful June 15, at least when he went to the front and returned to try to reinsert himself into the community.
In this case we will work with the film Argentine soldier only known by God, directed by Rodrigo Fernández Engler and released in the year 2017. In this film, co-produced by Cita con la Vida. Audiovisual Undertakings, Midú-Junco Producciones and Fundación Criteria, with the support of INCAA and the Argentine Armed Forces, exposes the story of three young Argentines who spend before, during and after the Falklands War, but that exposes a series of elements that allow us to think of society as an active subject in the future of events.
