Movie description:
After the death of his mother, 12 year-old Moritz (Johann Hillmann) begins to act in ways that distress the aunt he is living with, so she packs him off to Spain to be with his father. At the airport he meets »Don Quixote«- or is it? The lost boy and the deluded man have some adventures, all with a happy ending.
A sensitive teen boy becomes a runaway after a quarrel with his father, who is in charge of an array of electricity-generating windmills in Spain. The boy encounters a very eccentric old man who bears a suspicious resemblance to a famous character in fiction. The boy warms to the old character and they have adventures wherein the boy tries to protect the old man from his deranged folly.
