An endearing outlier, Brian lives alone in a Welsh valley, inventing oddball contraptions that seldom work. After finding a discarded mannequin head, Brian gets an idea. Three days, a washing machine, and sundry spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and proves a charming, cheeky companion. Before long, however, Charles also develops autonomy. Intrigued by the wider world — or whatever lies beyond the cottage where Brian has hidden him away — Charles craves adventure.

"This is weird, funny, sweet and a bit heart breaking all at the same time. A lonely inventor creates a robot for company. Awkwardness ensues and things get complicated. Based on a short film of the same name from 2018."

"A cabbage obsessed, dishwasher robot that dances. It’s a silly movie that made me laugh a few times. It also has its sad moments though. "

Griffin

"Wonderfully surprising fantasy with heart and humor"

"We really liked this. It starts a little like a mockumentary but then moves into regular storytelling. It was quirky and funny and memorable. Some reviewers thought it was sad but I didn't get that at all. I don't often like to rewatch movies, but this is a rare one that I'd enjoy again. Plus, cabbage jokes! "
