Synopsis
Amato is a film about Amato Kurtes, 79 year old cinema enthusiast from Rijeka who has been a fan of Charlie Chaplin throughout his whole life. Because of that, Amato has been wearing a Charlie Chaplin costume on many occasions, both on film and off. To his stage appearances or to other open-air events, he carries a staple Chaplin hat and a cane along with a model of a film camera he made himself. People love him. They often come up to him to take a photograph of him and his camera. Amato doesn't care as much about his 'mundane' life as he cares about his performances, which he constantly mention and continuously reinvents.
