The Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov  sits disillusioned in his apartment in 1938 Moscow. His plays have been removed from the schedules by the Soviet authorities, and the publication of his novels has been banned. Then the Vakhtangov Theater commissions him to adapt Miguel Cervantes ' DON QUIXOTE for the stage. Alonso Quijano sits just as dejectedly in his village of La Mancha, spending his time reading chivalric novels and losing himself in their ideals. He names himself Don Quixote and sets out to pursue the stories from his books. His companion and armor-bearer, Sancho Panza, dubs him the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance." Traveling on an old nag and a donkey, they aim to "restore to the world the irretrievably lost justice," free a supposed princess, and fight giants in the form of windmills.
