AI: The Portuguese film you are likely thinking of is Aldeia da Roupa Branca (translated as The Village of White Clothes), released in 1938/1939.
Directed by Chianca de Garcia, this comedy-musical is a cornerstone of the “Golden Age” of Portuguese cinema. It is famous for its depiction of traditional rural life and the “washerwomen of Portugal”.
An exciting clip (really!) can be found on YouTube.
