Plot – What's the story about?

Plot: Loosely based on Miguel Cervantes' 17th-century novel, this is the story of an advertising executive (Johnny Depp) who gets transported a few hundred years into the past, where he meets Don Quixote (Jean Rochefort) and takes on the identity of Sancho Panza, the windmill-fighter's sidekick. Many of the actors will play both contemporary roles and characters during the Renaissance-era scenes. The story will bounce back and forth between past and present.
