Macario (1960)
Macario is a 1960 Spanish-language drama movie directed by Roberto Gavaldón, with a running time of 1h 31m. It stars Ignacio López Tarso, Pina Pellicer and Enrique Lucero.
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. Each asks him to share his turkey, but he refuses all except Death. In return, Death gives him a bottle of water which will heal any illness. Soon, Macario is more wealthy than the village doctor, which draws the attention of the feared Inquisition.
