Cavalheiro Lima

Meant principally for a sympathetic audience, whether Catholic or not, this routine story about a priest's receiving the call to the cloth may be a bit slow and theatrical for some viewers. Directed by Lima Barreto, the tale is told in a series of flashbacks as the priest remembers how he was transformed as a child into a person willing to give his life in service of the church and his God. Barreto also scripted the story, which in the end, may be too filled with religious platitudes and preachy overtones to effectively convey its message.

When a woman discovers her husband's infidelity, she decides to get divorced. But he still loves her, and learning that another guy has fallen for her, decides to change places with him. He would be the lover.
