Anjou King dies on the battlefield. According to ancient custom, the throne passes to the eldest son. But he graciously offers his younger brother Hamuret to divide the inheritance equally. Gamuret renounces wealth and goes to foreign lands in order to glorify the king’s name with knightly deeds. Gamuret offers his help to the ruler of Baghdad Baruk and wins victory after victory. After many adventures, waves of the sea beat Hamuret’s ship to the shores of the Kingdom of the Moors called Zazamanka. Everywhere the young man sees signs of military defeat. The black queen of Zazamanka, the beautiful Belakan, asks for his help. The knight valiantly fights with the enemies of the Moors, wins, achieves the love of Belakana and becomes king of Zazamanka. But soon the thirst for military exploits wakes up again in him, and he secretly leaves his wife. In his absence, Belakana is born the son of Feirefitz, whose body is half black and half white. Gamuret arrives in Spain. Queen Herzeloyda, wishing to choose a worthy spouse, attends a knightly tournament. Hamuret wins. After long and painful hesitations, he agrees to marry Herzeloida, provided that she does not keep him in the kingdom. He goes on a regular campaign and dies.

The Queen is born the son of Partzifal. Together with him and several subjects, the inconsolable Herceloid leaves the kingdom and retires to the forest. Trying to protect Partzical from her father’s fate, she forbids the servants to mention the name of his father and everything related to his origin, wars and knightly deeds. The boy grows in the lap of nature, spending time in innocent fun. Years pass unnoticed. Once during a hunt, Partzifal meets three horsemen in a forest. Delighted with the magnificent equipment of the knights, the young man takes them for the gods and falls to his knees. Those laugh him and hide. Soon another Part of the Knight appears; he is so beautiful that the young man takes him for a deity. Count Ulterek tells Partzival that he is chasing three attackers. They abducted the girl and, despising the knightly honor, disappeared. The young man shows him in which direction the riders rode. The count captivates the simple-minded young man with stories about knightly deeds and about life at the court of King Arthur and says that Partziphal can also go to the service of the king. The young man comes to his mother and requires a horse and armor to go to Nantes, to King Arthur. Alarmed Herceloid chooses an old nag and a clownish outfit for her son in the hope that in this form the stubborn and uncouth boy will not be allowed to go to court. In parting, she gives him the mandate: to help the good, not to know the bad, and if he loves the girl, then let him take the ring from her. And he must remember the name of their fierce enemy, the villain Leelin, who ravaged her kingdom. The happy Partzifal leaves, and the inconsolable mother soon dies of grief.

In the forest, a young man sees a tent, and in it - a beautiful sleeping girl. Without thinking twice, he removes the ring from her and kisses her on the lips. She wakes up in horror and drives away the impudent youth. Soon her husband, Orilus, returns, sees the traces of a stranger and accuses her of treason in anger. Partzilf hurries on. He meets a girl sobbing over a murdered bridegroom, and swears to crack down on the killer, Duke Orilus. From the story of Partzifal, the girl guesses who he is and reveals to him the secret of his origin. It turns out that she is his cousin, Siguna, The young man takes off again and meets Itera the Red, cousin of King Arthur. He tells him that the king robbed him of his possessions; Iter, on the other hand, took the king’s golden goblet and would give it back only under one condition: he would fight any knight from the king’s retinue in order to regain his right to his lands. The young man promises the knight to convey his request to King Arthur.

Presenting himself before the king in his clownish outfit, Partzipal demands that he be accepted into the royal retinue, naively considering himself ready for knightly service. He talks about a meeting with Itera the Red and tells the king that he craves honest martial arts. To get rid of the annoying eccentric, the king's adviser suggests that he be sent to a duel. Fearing for his life and at the same time not wanting to offend the ambitious Partzifal, the king reluctantly agrees. The young man enters a duel and miraculously wins. Putting on the armor of the murdered knight, the young man sets off on.

Partzifal arrives in the city, where Prince Gurnemanz welcomes him cordially. Having learned his story, he decides to teach the inexperienced youth the rules of chivalrous behavior. He explains to Partzifal that a knight should not allow himself stupid antics and endlessly ask worthless questions. Having learned these useful tips, Partzifal goes further. He drives up to the besieged city, ruled by the niece of Gurnemanza, Queen Condviramur. Partzifal defeats her enemies and grants them life, provided that from now on they will serve King Arthur. Having achieved the Queen's love, Partzipal marries her. Having become a king, he lives in happiness and prosperity, but longing for his mother makes him set off again.

Finding himself in a forest on the lake, Partzifal sees a man surrounded by fishermen in a royal embroidered gold robe, and he invites him to spend the night in his castle. To the amazement of Partzifal, residents greet him with joyful cries. In the luxurious hall, he sees the owner of the castle, Anfortas. By his appearance, Partzifal realizes that he is seriously ill. Suddenly, inexplicable things begin to happen. A squire with a bloodied spear runs into the hall, and everyone begins to moan and cry. Then the beautiful virgins appear with lamps, and behind them - the queen, who brings the holy stone of the Grail, from which a wonderful radiance emanates. When she sets it in front of Anfortas, exquisite dishes suddenly appear on the tables. Partzifal is shocked by everything that happens, but he does not dare to ask questions, remembering the teachings of Gurnemanets. The next morning, he discovers that the castle is empty, and goes on.

In the forest, he meets a girl and recognizes in her his cousin Shiguna. Hearing that he visited Munsalves - the name of the castle - and at the sight of all miracles did not ask the king a single question, she showers curses on Partzifal. It turns out that with one question he could heal Anfortas and restore the former prosperity to the kingdom. Partzipal, in desperation, continues on her way and meets the very beauty, from whose hand he once boldly took off the ring. A jealous husband cursed her, and she wanders around the world, poor and dressed in rags. Partzifal returns the ring and proves the innocence of the girl.

Meanwhile, King Arthur goes on a campaign and along the way asks everyone about the valiant knight Partzifal, to rank him among the heroes of the Round Table. When Partzifal brings Arthur Havan's nephew to the king, the sorceress Kundri suddenly appears. She tells everyone that Partzilf did not take the opportunity to heal Anfortas. Now for Parcifal, there is only one way to save Anfortas: to atone for his deeds by exploits. Kundry talks about Chatel Marveille Castle, where four hundred beautiful maidens languish, captured by the enemy of Anfortas, the villain Klingsor.

Shamed and saddened, Partzipal leaves King Arthur. On the way to Munsalves, he meets pilgrims. On this holy day - Good Friday - they urge the young knight to join them. But he refuses, having lost faith in God after so many misfortunes and failures. But soon he repents and confesses his sins to the hermit Trevricent. It turns out that this hermit is the brother of Anfortas and Herceloid. He tells Partzifal the story of Anfortas. Inheriting the wonderful Grail stone, he longed for even greater glory, but in a duel he received a wound that has not healed since. Once, an inscription appeared on a holy stone: a knight can heal Anfortas, who, filled with compassion, will ask him a question about the cause of his torment. Partzilf learns that after the healing of Anfortas, the guardian of the Grail will be the one whose name appears on the stone.

Meanwhile, after many adventures, Havana arrives at Chatel Marveil Castle. The sorceress Kundri told the knights about this castle. After passing all the tests that the owner of the castle Klingsor arranges for him, he releases the captive beauties. Now Havana will have a battle with his longtime enemy Gramoflans. By mistake, he takes his friend Parcifal for him, and they fight. Partzifal begins to defeat the unfamiliar knight, but suddenly finds out that this is his friend Havan, Tomorrow Havan must fight with Gramoflans, but he is exhausted by a duel with Partzifal. Under the guise of Havana, Partzifal secretly fights against him and wins.

Partzifal sets off again. In foreign lands, he enters into combat with the lord of the Moors Feirefitz. Unaware that this is his half-brother, the son of Hamuret, Partzipal fights with him not for life, but for death. But the forces of opponents are equal. Upon learning that they are brothers, they rush into each other's arms and together go to King Arthur. There, Partzifal again sees the sorceress Kundri, and she solemnly announces to everyone that the young knight has passed all the trials and atoned for his guilt. His name appeared on the grail. Heaven has chosen Partzimal: from now on he becomes the guardian of the Grail. Partzifal and Feirefitz arrive in Munsalves, and Partzifal finally asks Anfortas the question that everyone has been waiting for. Anfortas is healed. At this time, the wife of Partzifal, Kondwiramur, with two sons arrives at the castle. Feirefitz accepts holy baptism and marries the sister of Anfortas. Everyone in the castle celebrates deliverance from the calamities that once befell the kingdom.
