Reimagining of the Don Quixote saga. A professor is working on a study about knights in early Swiss history on behalf of the Swiss National Science Foundation and becomes a knight himself in order to better imagine their world. Accompanied by the keeper of a scrap metal yard, he takes to the field against modern highwaymen, giants, and lindworms—against highways, environmental pollution, nuclear power plants, reservoirs, and the tanks of the Swiss army.
