Who doesn't know him, the impoverished country gentleman tilting at windmills? Don Quixote, who suffers so much from reality that he escapes into the world of his beloved chivalric romances and loses himself in this dream world. Equipped with his imagination as armor, his chivalric ideals as weapons, and his faithful squire Sancho Panza at his side, Don Quixote embarks on unknown adventures. He fights against imaginary enemies and illusions, but at his core, always for his true ideals. He is constantly searching for his equally imagined great love, Dulcinea, an ideal he projects onto all women. He actually helps the young Kitri escape a forced marriage and marry her true love. He survives all his adventures unscathed—until, at the end of his journey, he encounters his own reflection and recognizes his self-deception.
