Summary

Impersonating a knight is one of the favorite games of nine-year-old protagonist. Now as Don Quixote, now as D`Artagnan he fights evil, searches for justice and defends the weak. Together with his friends, packed in cardboard armor, they play all day long. As he plays, however, he unwittingly witnesses the relationship between his parents and gradually comes to understand that the world of adults is far removed from the canons of knightly honor. His parents love him, but never seem to find the time to listen to his concerns. The deceit, corruption and lack of respect in his own family alienate the small boy. The only adult whom the boy trusts is his uncle, to whom he is attached by a genuine, equal, man-to-man friendship. He takes him to the cinema and theater performances and talks to him as a peer. Will this sensitive kid ever succeed in building an internal suit of armor against selfishness and rudeness?
