AKA:
Der Mann von La Mancha >> German
Synopsis:
In the sixteenth century, Miguel de Cervantes, poet, playwright, and
part-time actor, has been arrested, together with his manservant, by the
Spanish Inquisition. They are accused of presenting an entertainment
offensive to the Inquisition. Inside the huge dungeon into which they
have been cast, the other prisoners gang up on Cervantes and his
manservant, and begin a mock trial, with the intention of stealing or
burning his possessions. Cervantes wishes to desperately save a
manuscript he carries with him and stages, with costumes, makeup, and
the participation of the other prisoners, an unusual defense--the story
of Don Quixote.
