Impoverished laborer Macario (Ignacio Lopez Tarso) goes hungry to help provide for his family, but he dreams about eating a whole turkey on his own. One day, his dream seems to be coming true: His wife steals a turkey and Macario is excited to eat it by himself. When a hungry God and Devil ask for a piece of meat, Macario refuses and shares his meal only with Death. But saving the starving Grim Reaper results in unexpected consequences.
