The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

Don Quixote is a legendary character in world literature. Everyone knows about the old man who fought with windmills. How many were mentioned about him in other works, how many films were made about him. One director-marketer Tobias Grammet, or simply Toby, once created his thesis, a film, about this very character. Now he is trying to squeeze out another masterpiece of commerce, but without success. For inspiration, he goes to the very village where the same film was made. Toby found Don Quixote himself there - the same actor who once played the main role in his picture. He got so used to the role that he made a mistake and remained in the image forever. Don Quixote accepted Toby as his faithful assistant Sancho Panza and is ready to go on adventures. All the lines will blur: between real and fictional, between present and past, between delusion and truth.
