Synopsis
This is a true adventure comedy. The donkey, Rucio, tells the "true" story of Don Quixote and defends the idea that he wasn't mad, but in reality, Quixote was a very intelligent, passionate and enthusiastic fellow.
We then follow Don Quixote; his "squire" Sancho Panza (Quixote's best friend and the wealthiest man in town); Sancho's donkey Rucio (who wants to be a horse); and a real horse, Quixote's faithful steed Rocinante (who hates leaving his stable) on their adventure to duel the "Knight of the Moon," where, if Quixote wins the duel, the true identity of Dulcinea will be revealed.
We meet a series of villains who try to stop Quixote from his rendezvous with destiny, but Quixote prevails.
