O Pagador de Promessas

O Pagador de Promessas (, The Payer of Promises) is a 1962 Brazilian drama film directed by Anselmo Duarte.

Duarte, who was also one of the film's producers, adapted the screenplay himself from the famous stage play written by Dias Gomes. It won the Palme d'Or at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first (and to date the only) Brazilian film to achieve that feat. A year later, it also became the first Brazilian and South American film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
