From case cover:
Alonso Quijano sueña con el legendario pasado medieval de caballerías, plagado de monstruos, princesas encantedas y malvados hechiceros. Determinado a revivir el tiempo de los caballeros andantes que defendían la justicia y al débil, Alonso adopta el nombre de Don Quijote de la Mancha y arrastra con él a su escudero, el bonachón y práctico Sancho Panza. Juntos se embarcarán en un sinfín de esperpénticas aventuras en las que chocará de continuo la idealizada visión de Don Quijote con la realidad mundana de su tiempo.

From IMDb:
Adapted from the work of Miguel de Cervantes, this is the story of a hidalgo, fanatic for chivalry novels, who loses his sanity and believing to be a knight named Don Quixote de La Mancha, decides to go on imaginary adventures along with his friend, the simple farmer Sancho Panza, who becomes his squire. On their journeys, they rescue dames in distress in honorable acts and fight giants among other perils, with Don longing to be with the love of his life, lady Dulcinea, and Sancho waiting to be rewarded with an island where he's about to become a governor.
