About Children of Don Quixote
A film about the large family of the head of a maternity hospital. Living by very strict moral standards and nicknamed Don Quixote for this, he brings up his sons in the same spirit. And the sons turn out to be worthy of their father, although they often have to overcome various, both serious and comic, difficulties in life.
Directed by Yevgeni Karelov, Children of Don Quixote leans on a strong ensemble — Anatoliy Papanov, Vera Orlova, Vladimir Korenev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1966.
