A small town in southern Mexico prepares for a celebration. The town rejoices at Lupita’s arrival, and that of Raul, her beloved. Maximiliano, only son of the town’s richest family, reminds Lupita’s mother of their secret agreement. Upon learning of the arrangement, Lupita refuses. Dejected, Maximiliano challenges Raul to a duel and loses. Maximiliano's revenge on Raul mistakenly ends up in the hands of Lupita, ending her life without the chance to say goodbye to her loved one.
Lupita is transported to Mictlán, the world of the dead, where she meets La Catrina. Lupita is in awe of the beauty she sees and remembers Raul. La Catrina, surprised by seeing sadness, gives Lupita an opportunity to say goodbye to her love. Lupita, returns to the world of the living. La Catrina shows Raul that one day he will meet his beloved in the world of the departed. With new found hope, Raul and the townsfolk continue to celebrate the return of their departed loved ones.
