Plot synopsis
The author, who also plays the role of Don Quixote, considers his hero to be the prototype of the famous "ghost of communism": "If I do not start saving humanity right now, then the procrastination will be fatal for sure." Don Quixote, an intolerant Orthodox, continues to wander all over Europe and impose his point of view on everyone, but, as we now know, no one has brought man as much trouble as those who wanted to make him happy by force.
The film is in no way similar to the novel, adored by all romantics, and in the end became a parody of the revolutionary. It was presented to the judgment of Bulgarian spectators, Russian television viewers and the Spanish royal couple.
