A Missa do Galo (1982)

The year of production is 1980, according to the end credits, so the IMDB year above may be wrong.

Based on a short story by Machado de Assis, first published in 1894.

On Christmas Eve, during an evening, a married woman is at her house with a young man who has come from his small town to visit Rio, and is awaiting the hour of going to Mass.

Overall an interesting short, with a very interesting female lead, Isabel Ribeiro, a woman of exotic beauty, and a fine actress to boot.
