Educativa, Goiânia, v. 17, n. 2, p. 287-299, jul./dez. 2014.e- 1983-7771 http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20001In this work, it will be discussed what is called childhood with the references of psychoanalysis, based on Freudian hypothesis about the unconscious, which is constituted by language, under the effects of parental relationship established since the beginning of life. In this way, childhood presents a particular perspective that involves memories, wishes, brands that make up the truth for a subject and which has, therefore, more than a released, a singularity in construction and reworking. To present this dis cussion was chosen the Dutch film directed by Mike Van Diem, Character (Karakter), released 1997, using the strategy of the flashback.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/CinemaInfânciaFlashbackInconscienteLinguagemChildhoodFlashbackUnconsciousLanguageArtigo10.18224/educ.v17i2.3942
