Hommage à l'heure de la sieste (titre original : Homenaje a la hora de la siesta) est un film coproduit par l'Argentine, le Brésil et la France, réalisé par Leopoldo Torre Nilsson et sorti en 1962.
Synopsis
Un reporter parisien et son photographe partent au Brésil, au cœur de la forêt amazonienne, où se déroule une cérémonie à la mémoire de quatre pasteurs missionnaires assassinés par des Indiens qu'ils souhaitaient évangéliser. Les quatre veuves se retrouvent dans un hôtel avec le journaliste. Ce dernier rencontre le guide des missionnaires. Celui-ci lui révèle qu'un seul des pasteurs est mort en martyr, les trois autres lui ayant demandé de leur éviter le supplice. Chacune des femmes espère être la veuve du héros. Une de celles-ci, Constance, découvrant la réalité - son mari s'est suicidé -, tue le guide et met le feu à la forêt afin de dissimuler les traces de la vérité. Les autres épouses continueront, de leur côté, à croire à la pureté d'âme de leurs défunts.Actors

It is Christmas 1911 and Arthur Winslow, a London banker, is making final preparations for a dinner to seal the engagement between his daughter Catherine, an outspoken supporter of the controversial cause of women's suffrage, and Captain John Watherstone. The family and guests are toasting the upcoming marriage when Arthur discovers that his youngest son Ronnie, a 13-year-old cadet at the Royal Naval College, Osborne, is unexpectedly home. Ronnie has been accused of the theft of a postal order. An internal enquiry, conducted without notice to his family and without benefit of representation, finds him guilty and Mr. Winslow is "requested to withdraw" his son from the college (the formula of the day for expulsion). Ronnie proclaims his innocence and his father believes him—enough so that he demands an apology from the College. When the college refuses to reinstate Ronnie, Arthur decides to take the matter to court. With the help of his daughter and Desmond Curry, a solicitor and friend of the family, Mr. Winslow decides to hire the most highly sought after barrister in England at the time, Sir Robert Morton, known also to be a shrewd opposition Member of Parliament.
