The second one is God in the guise of an old man. 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. However, just as Macario prepares to eat the turkey, three men appear to him. His worried wife steals a turkey and gives it to Macario before he heads to the mountains to work. He announces in front of his wife and children that he will not eat until his dream comes true. After he sees a procession of roast turkeys, his dream is to eat a whole roast turkey just by himself. His economic situation keeps him and his family at the edge of starvation. The story centers on Macario, a poor indigenous woodcutter, during Colonial Mexico, on the eve of the Day of the Dead, who lives embittered for being so poor and hungry.
