In the presence of Terry Gilliam (director), Sergi Lopez (actor) and Joana Ribeiro (actress).

Toby, a cynical advertising director, finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old Spanish shoe-makerwho believes himself to be Don Quixote. In the course of their comic and increasingly surreal adventures, Toby is forced to confront the tragic repercussions of a film he made  in  his  idealistic  youth –a film  that changed the  hopes  and dreams  of  a  small Spanish village forever. Can Toby make amends and regain his humanity? Can Don Quixote survive his madness and imminent death?
Or will love conquer all?
