- Synopsis
- “Charlie” is a love driven story: there’s love between Antonio and Marco, and love runs between Antonio and his father as well. Furthermore, there’s a great love for life.
  Milan. It’s been two weeks since the beginning of a devastating Zombie Apocalypse. While Marco is trying to escape towards Switzerland, his longtime boyfriend Antonio struggles in a last attempt to save his father, trying to get him back to his human condition - he’s a zombie.
  Antonio thinks that zombies – if they undergo something they were really passionate about before the contagion – can become human again. Antonio’s father loved Charlie Chaplin; the son decides to let his father watch Chaplin’s “Easy Street.” This leads to a massive fight between Antonio and Marco, who decides to leave with neighbor Matteo, one of the last humans left. But something will prevail. Happy ending is close. Apparently...
