Engineered to be a ruthless weapon on his first mission to Earth, vat-grown soldier Charlie 01 faces a moral crisis when ordered to execute a pregnant target and her unborn child.
"CHARLIE BOY" is a haunting dystopian sci-fi short film by Gabriel Bosisio, created for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival. The story follows Charlie 01, a clone soldier poured from a mold and stamped with a barcode, who descends to Earth on his initiation hunt to capture a vital energy source known as 'the light.' When his target turns out to be pregnant, Charlie's lifelong conditioning fractures, forcing him to choose between blind obedience to his handlers and his awakening conscience. Combining gritty worldbuilding with high-stakes emotional tension, the film delivers a powerful meditation on humanity, free will, and rebellion.
