“Chile has a lot of stories with tricksters messing with the devil, so it felt fun to take one of those and update it,” Vargas instructed Polygon. “In the original story, Bartolo would trick the devil to get money to party, drink and dine. But also, I read how in these stories the devil can be meant to represent a landowner and the bum is the common man using their wits to get an upper hand. It felt fitting with the times to change the landowner to a banker and Bartolo using the money to improve the world around him (and destroying a bank in the process). It’s a bit silly, but it made me very happy.”
