In Cargo, what is the name of Martin Freeman’s character?

In Cargo, Martin Freeman plays Andy Rose.

Andy is a father trying to protect his infant daughter, Rosie, during a zombie-like pandemic in rural Australia. After Andy becomes infected, he has limited time to find someone who can care for Rosie before he loses control. The film’s central tension comes from his attempt to secure her future rather than simply survive for himself.

Cargo was directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and released in 2017. It expanded their earlier short film of the same name into a feature-length story. The Australian setting gives the film a distinctive landscape, with isolated communities and long distances making help difficult to find.

The infection is usually discussed as a zombie outbreak, but the film emphasizes grief, parenthood, and moral responsibility more than zombie spectacle. Andy’s surname is Rose, and Rosie’s name is derived from it, making the family relationship easy to confuse with the names of other survivors.
