His girlfriend has left for Japan to disconnect from technology and live an older, simpler way of being. Dante is lost. He is in an unfulfilling job he hates, and so he decides to write a film. As the script emerges, the audience follows a Spanish extravagant knight errant quest, battling monsters and travelling epic landscapes, alongside his French squire.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
