In the Land of the Remembered, Manolo reunites with his mother and his ancestors. Devastated by María's "death", Manolo allows Xibalba to kill him, believing that he will be reunited with María in the Land of the Remembered, where souls go after death and stay as long as they are remembered by their family and friends that live on. When Manolo brings Maria's body to the town, Joaquín and Ramiro angrily blames him for her (false) death.

That night, María is pressured by her father to marry Joaquín so he can protect San Angel from the Bandit King Chakal. Manolo dreams of becoming a musician but his aspirations are suppressed by his father Carlos, who trains him to be a bullfighter, as it is a Sanchez family tradition.Īt Manolo's first bullfight, he defeats the bull but refuses to kill it, angering his father and the crowd but impressing María. Years later, the day María returns to San Angel, along with her pet pig Chuy, which Manolo give her as a goodbye present back then, Joaquín has become a military hero with the Medal's aid. The mayor of San Angel and María's father, General Ramiro Posada, sends María to Spain to become a "lady" after she frees pigs destined for slaughter. That same night, Xibalba secretly cheats by giving Joaquín his Medal of Everlasting Life, which grants the wearer invincibility. They strike a wager: if María marries Manolo, Xibalba will no longer interfere in mortal affairs, but if she marries Joaquín, La Muerte and Xibalba will swap realms.
