Rebound: Alaspäin Ois Iisii/Crashin`Down Comes Easy
This video is music video and short film hybrid. Its dedicated to Aki Kaurismäki, the best Finnish film director from Finland. It's inspired from Kaurismäki's films, exspecially from Calamari Union. I personally call to Mr Kaurismäki and ask, is it's ok to steal part of the Calamari Union's script and he aswered: Offcource, because there's no script at all, during we make Calamari!
So after 36 years of Calamari Union, there is four hard luck fellows, who wants to get away from Kallio(poor side of city of Helsinki)to Eira(rich side of Helsinki). First one poor fellow forces the driver with gun in his hand drives him to Eira. He's lucky won't last a long. He dies in the backseat of the car during his way to paradice. Driver stops his car and left the dead body front of the hospital and take the mysterious suitcase. Then comes "human-raven" and steals poor passanger's sunglasses and continues his way. Then driver take another passanger in his car. Hard luck musician is in the fly(or had covid-19?)but he got to to find place for a gig. He try to steal mysterios suitcase and that's why driver slumps musician out of his car. Musician try to open the Bar door, but -offcourse- bar is closed, because the pandemic. At the end of the video, driver open the mysterious suitcase and found out, what is inside. The end is kind of happy. Music by Rebound and it is taken from their forthcoming album Riva!.
