Synopsis:

Dan Quixote by John Morrison - When a man sporting a full size sombrero, steps off a flight from Malaga and announces to customs officials that he is Don Quixote de la Mancha, it’s assumed that alcohol or insanity are at work.

But this Don is neither drunk nor demented – he’s just been going through a difficult phase in his life. Luckily the errant knight is met by Sandy Palmer, a taxi driver who understanding his disposition, assumes the role of Sancho Panza – his good and honest servant. But their adventures together through the streets of Belfast reveal that Don, or Dan as he is really known, has a more complicated history than Sandy at first imagined. Dan’s family – a litigious bunch - is eagerly awaiting his return and have hired a private detective to find him. Dan on the other hand has other ideas.
