Dressed in heavy medieval armour, Abraham crosses Brittany on foot, like a 21st century Don Quixote. Travelling through fields and forests, towns and villages, this anachronistic and wacky knight is astonishing to those who cross his path. He is accompanied on his journey by the director, his Sancho Panza, in front and behind the camera. Together, they wander around, accepting the food and lodging offered to them, or bivouacking under the stars. Little by little, Abraham loses his footing. His armour becomes his Dulcinea. Absorbed by his work, the artist finally disappears behind the character he has created. Only a knight errant on a foolish quest remains.
