MORETA VELAYOS, Francisco Ignacio et al. The Seventh Seal (1957), between plagues and syndemics. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.1, pp.39-48.  Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc.27919.

Such as many others, without question, the beginning of the decreed lockdowns to contain the current pandemic, Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957) came to our minds, relating the film time events with the current ones: the Black Death pandemic which isolated Sweden in XIV on one hand, and Covid-19 pandemic on the other, both syndemics as some prefer to name them.

Using Ingmar Bergman's work as a reference, our aim is to make comparisons between the medieval plague and the actual pandemic, contributing with some reflections and personal opinions, many of them emerged from our own personal experience during these long months.

Palabras clave : Black death; covid-19; pandemic; syndemic; silence.
