Summary
Poor, hungry peasant Macario longs for just one good meal on the Day of the Dead. After his wife cooks a turkey for him, he meets three apparitions, the Devil, God, and Death.

Macario, un aldeano sumamente pobre, desea comerse él solo un pavo, el cual comparte con la Muerte, quien, como agradecimiento, le entrega un agua curativa con la que hará milagros.
Un clásico del cine mexicano y del cine de culto, con una historia conmovedora y reflexiva sobre la muerte del ser.
