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.

In 1995, during the Kashmir conflict, Hilaal Meer, a doctor, agrees to perform an appendectomy on the leader of a pro-separatist group. To avoid detection, he performs the surgery at his house, much to the chagrin of his wife Ghazala, who questions his allegiance. The following day, during a military raid, Hilaal is accused of harbouring terrorists. A shootout ensues at his home, during which the leader of the separatist group is killed and Hilaal is taken away for questioning. The doctor's house is bombed subsequently to kill any other militant hiding inside. Several days later, Hilaal and Ghazala's son, Haider, returns from his university to seek answers about his father's disappearance. Upon arrival, he is shocked to find his mother singing and laughing along with her brother-in-law, Khurram.

John Mills and Dirk Bogarde, bizarrely, were the actors chosen to play two IRA men under cover in London during World War II. The lads are captured after (Terry) starts questioning the worth of war, a line of thinking never popular with armies. They are sprung from captivity by Connolly (Liam Redmond) and his IRA men. Nice cameo by Jack McGowran.
