Medieval Spanish shepherd boy sets out in search of his destiny and his fortune and finds both after trials and tribulations. This apparently simple fable is probably intended to be read as a kind of self-realisation manual, but for anyone who can't be bothered with the 'deeper meanings' scene, it is equally - and, to my mind, greatly - enjoyable as a straight piece of story-telling.
