El ahijado de la muerte ("The Godson of Death") is a 1946 Mexican film.
It was the first film to be written by Luis Alcoriza, co-written with his wife Janet Alcoriza, loosely based on the story by the brothers Grimm.
Dionisio, a worker in a mexican hacienda, is looking for someone who can become a godparent for his newborn son, Diego.
While being drunk, he goes to the cemetery, where Death appears before him and offers to become his son's Godmother.
However, a series of events force him to become a bandit, rebelling against his former childhood friend, who is now his master and the owner of the hacienda.
