In a landscape of fields and ruins, a group of figures move together, humble and mythical, poetic and popular. They are the characters of a Don Quixote reconstructed within multiple temporal dimensions and different imaginary horizons. Armed with a shield and spear as well as a profound knowledge of 20th-century literature, the Hidalgo of La Mancha comes back to life among pylons and wind turbines, unfinished buildings and archaic sculptures, accompanied by an ironic and sly Sancho Panza. Entrenched with courage in a crazy vision of the world and art, populated by angelic women and storytelling magicians, the knight errant comes to meet death and accept the inevitable mediocrity of reality.
