King Arthur, accompanied by the Knights of the Round Table, sets out on the mission given to him by the Lady of the Lake: the quest for the Grail. But the knights Perceval, Karadoc, Lancelot and others have a hard time grasping the stakes.

Original title
Kaamelott
Storyline
In this off beat account of King Arthur's quest for the Grail, virtually every journey, battle or adventure, is stopped dead in its tracks by the knights of the round table's most worldly traits--cowardice, greed, idiocy or misplaced chivalry. As a consequence, instead of epic adventures, we are treated with the characters' pragmatic and anachronistic take on each and every event in the Grail legend, true to the purest sitcom tradition.
