A Garça e a Serpente (1952)

Manuel is a bank clerk, melancholic and atheist, torn between two Ana Maria, a quiet, religious girl, and Albertina, a fiery, daring art-model. His bank opens a branch in Africa, and he works there a couple of years. When he comes back, both girlfriends are married. Manuel falls prey to economic problems and faces moral dilemas, eventually finding a priesthood vocation.
