Un senador local, que nunca ha salido de su terruño y no molesta demasiado a su partido, a pesar de ser más bien chapucero y lleno de extrañas y estrambóticas ideas socio-políticas, decide, con ayuda de su joven y ambicioso agente de prensa, dar a entender públicamente que "querer, querer, no quiere la Presidencia del País, pero que si el Pueblo se lo pide....". Esto causa estupor en su partido pues sería un desastre que se presente, pero todo se complica cuando se sabe que durante muchos años ha ido escribiendo un diario, donde aparecen escritas cosas que más valiera no salieran a la luz.

The newsreel series Jornal Português (1938-1951) was produced for the Secretariat of National Propaganda (SPN/SNI) by the "Portuguese Newsreel Society" (SPAC), under the technical supervision of António Lopes Ribeiro. It was conceived and employed as part of the propaganda machinery of Salazar's regime. Screened in cinema theatres prior to the main feature film, each issue of Jornal had approximately ten minutes in length and covered a variety of official government acts, national political news, major sports events and other assorted social and cultural affairs. Jornal Português is not only an indispensable document for the history of Estado Novo's propaganda, but also an unparalleled audiovisual archive of 1940s Portugal.

For Histoire du soldat inconnu (Story of the Unknown Soldier) Storck watched newsreels for the whole of 1928, the year when 60 nations signed a pact outlawing war, and juxtaposed this heart-warming utopia with the signs of a forthcoming conflict (this was in 1932) – burgeoning nationalism, police brutality, excessive colonialism, bellicose politics. Ferocious editing sarcastically juxtaposes these good intentions with the political farce of speeches and parades, all to the tune of factory chimneys collapsing in slow motion and the exhumed body of an “unknown soldier”. —cinematek.be
