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.
