A minor nobleman reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his grip on reality and decides to become a knight-errant himself. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he recruits a simple farmer as his squire and sets out to revive chivalry. Together they embark on adventures where Don Quixote's delusions transform windmills into giants and inns into castles, blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
