Amato is a film about Amato Kurtes, a 79-year-old amateur filmmaker from Rijeka who has been fascinated by the character of Charlie Chaplin his entire life. On many occasions, both on and off film, Amato dresses in Chaplin’s costume, puts on the iconic hat, takes his cane, and with a model camera he built himself, performs on stage or in outdoor spaces where events take place. People like him, approach him, and happily take photos with him and his camera. Amato cares far less about everyday reality than about his performances, which he constantly talks about and continuously plans.
