SYNOPSYS
Four mythological entities from different cultural traditions meet on an extraordinary occasion to prove that their particular message to the world is the most important of all: while Don Quixote de la Mancha defends the importance of becoming a knight-errant, Iambé, the Greek goddess of laughter, encourages all to live lightly and with humor; on the other hand, the African twin deities Ibeji speak of cooperation; and Quetzalcóatl, the God King who knows everything, exalts the communion of all beings. This controversy is interrupted at various times by the mysterious passage of the Moon in search of its other half, the Sun.
