SYNOPSIS

Once upon a time, Toby was an idealistic young film student. His great achievement, a lyrical re-working of the story of Don Quixote set in a quaint old Spanish village. But that was then; these days he is a jaded, arrogant and over-sexed commercial director. Money and glamour have derailed him, and now he juggles his boss’s wife Jacqui, a biblical storm and his own ego, as he tries to complete a new commercial shoot in Spain. To Toby’s horror, his little film has had a terrible effect on the sleepy village and the old man who played Quixote has now gone completely mad, believing he really is the “Knight of the Mournful Countenance”. Reality and fantasy blur together on this bizarre road trip which leads to a phantasmagorical finale.
