Macario is a 1960 Mexican supernatural drama film directed by Roberto Gavaldón, starring Ignacio López Tarso and Pina Pellicer.

[2] Macario has been widely regarded by critics and audiences as one of the greatest Mexican films ever made.

The first one is the Devil in the guise of a fine gentleman, who tempts Macario in order to get a piece of the turkey.

Death is amused and as a compensation, names Macario his "friend" and gives him miraculous water that will heal any disease.

Macario returns home to find his son unconscious and badly injured from falling into a well.

Macario becomes wealthy from selling his cures, but creates such a commotion that he is arrested and accused of heresy.

In desperation, Macario snatches up his candle and runs out of the cavern, not heeding the shouts of Death behind him.
