Summary: Zé, a poor man from the Brazilian countryside, promises St. Bárbara that if his dying donkey recovers and lives, he will carry a cross from his home to St. Barbara’s church in the state capital. The donkey recovers and Zé makes his pilgrimage, but things don’t work out as he had hoped. Winner of 1962 “Palme d’Or” from the Cannes Film Festival.
