About The Devil Smokes (and Saves the Burnt Matches in the Same Box)
In mid-90s Mexico City, five young siblings are left in the care of their grandmother after their parents suddenly disappear. As they fight to survive, the line between reality and something darker starts to blur. The grandmother, haunted by eerie visions and deepening fears, becomes more distant, while the children’s grip on reality begins to unravel. After a clash with their neighbors, the siblings withdraw even further into isolation, cutting themselves off from the outside world.
Directed by Ernesto Martínez Bucio, The Devil Smokes (and Saves the Burnt Matches in the Same Box) leans on a strong ensemble — Mariapau Bravo Aviña, Rafael Nieto Martínez, Regina Alejandra — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2026.
