Charl: an adorable googly-eyed coconut turned pop culture sensation who is secretly a genocidal robot from another universe. In 5 days he’s going to murder the entire planet, and the only people who might be able to stop him are a multiverse-hopping law enforcement officer and a failed author obsessed with cartoons. The season finale of the long-running Charl storyline on the Patrick (H) Willems channel.

Inspired by the poetry of Edwin Morgan where natural and domestic worlds collide and the hidden animal instincts of humans rise to the surface, this poetic visual narrative features voices from interviews recorded around the UK, woven into an evocative soundtrack. Stop motion puppets and live action footage combine to tell a dark love story.
