O Pagador de Promesas. (Aka The Given Word) 1962. Brazilian film in Portuguese with large English subtitles. A poor man from the Brazilian countryside makes a promise to Saint Bárbara to carry a cross – like Jesus – all the way from his city to Saint Bárbara’s church in the state capital, if his prayer to cure his sick donkey is answered. Upon the recovery of his donkey, he leaves on his journey. He makes it to the church, but the priest refuses to accept the cross once he comes to know the context of the promise.
