This happened months ago in Brazil, on 11/04/'23, when I went to a friend's house to watch the Conmembol Libertadores' final match. We watched the entire game and inevitably it ended. We were disappointed, as we wanted Fluminense to lose, haha. So my friend had the fun idea of starting channel surfing on his TV. It was very interesting. We ended up on "Canal do Boi", a Brazilian channel dedicated to telesales of bull semen, and many more funny scenarios. We discovered that his TV subscription covered foreign channels, and so we watched German documentaries about the human body on DW Fernsehen, saw a weird Korean game show, a Chinese politician shouting a speech and a Russian news program. Eventually, we came across a Spanish channel (or from another Spanish-speaking country, I might suspect that it comes from Argentina) that was broadcasting an old film, very old one indeed, it seemed to be from the 60s or 70s due to the quality of the image. In color too. It showed a little boy, dressed more or so like this, walking barefoot with a wooden staff in a rural environment, in front of a small chapel. It was situated in a clear day, the sky was bright blue. Eventually, a friar (or a vagabond, a villager, I don't remember exactly) crosses his path and asks something to him. The boy responds, revealing a stupidly high-pitched and irritating voice, resulting in me and my friend dying from laughing at that scene. We quickly changed the channel after that.

A small boy approached by a vagabond, it reminds me of El Lazarillo de Tormes. There exist many film adaptations of Spanish classics. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of those. Look up an adaptation on YouTube of el Burlador de Sevilla and the channel might pop up. I’ll keep looking into it. Unidentified Spanish media isn’t common after all jaja.
Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí.

"Lazarillo de Tormes" from 1959 looks scarily similar to the film I saw that evening. Like, right down to the smallest details, such as the boy's clothes, the wooden staff, the rural backgrounds, even the unusual camera angles that I think I forgot to include in my first post. But I'm not 100% sure if that's it because I clearly remember it being in color, and the videos that I found on YouTube are all in black and white. The colors were very vibrant too, almost like if the black and white version of the movie was digitally colored for TV broadcasts. The video quality was pretty good, as if the film was digitized and remastered from a original negative reel.
But thank you SO much for the help, I'm more than sure that we're in the right lead!
