ON A RAINY NIGHT IN BARCELONA, a Finn, Olli Koskela, 55, looks for shelter from the rain. He finds an open door to the staircase, on the floor of which is sleeping his fellow-fated, the Spanish Lluc Samper, 42. While settling down to sleep on the floor, Olli accidentally knocks over Lluc’s wheelchair and scares him. A wrestling match is born, which is the beginning of a unique friendship story between two men with mental health problems. Don Quixote of Barcelona is a warmhearted buddy movie where one of our heroes clings to life and the other decides to go back to the streets.
