Toby, a cynical advertising director, finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old Spanish shoe-maker who 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?

We were worried for a minute there. The monumentally troubled, decades-spanning production of director Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” has become the stuff of legend – not to mention the subject of the acclaimed 2002 documentary “Lost in La Mancha.” But after soldiering through enough setbacks this decade to fill a whole second documentary, the completed picture’s triumphant Cannes Film Festival premiere was at risk of being thwarted by a legal battle with the film’s ex-producer Paul Branco.

Driver and Pryce are joined by Stellan Skarsgård, Olga Kurylenko, Joana Ribeiro, and Jason Watkins. The script was handled by Gilliam and frequent co-writer Tony Grisoni. “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” premieres in US theaters on April 10 for a one-night special event.
