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.
On the occasion of Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead festival, The Revolver Film Club and Mexical Consulate in Mumbai brings to you the free screening and post-screening discussion of Macario, a gem from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, directed by Roberto Gavaldón.
Macario was Mexico's first Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination and is considered one of the best Mexican films ever made.
