La pulquería
Pepe, a shiftless drunkard, wastes his days in a local pulquería, dreaming of wealth without work. His constant grumbling catches the ear of the Devil himself, who proposes a tantalizing bargain: any wish granted in exchange for proof that man is capable of genuine love. Skeptical yet greedy, Pepe accepts the challenge, unaware that this task will prove far more arduous than any manual labor. His clumsy attempts to demonstrate affection spiral into a series of absurd and hilarious misadventures, calling into question the very nature of his soul.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Luis Alcoriza's film is a witty and earthy parable wrapped in the guise of a folk comedy. The director expertly employs domestic grotesque and folklore motifs to pose eternal questions about the worth of human sentiment.
What lingers after the laughter is a surprisingly poignant meditation on the price of our desires, proving that the simplest bargains can have the most complex fine print. — MovieFinder Editorial
