Director: Chto Delat
A group of strangely costumed heroes set out on a journey to find a miracle in this absurdist lo-fi musical roadmovie by the politically engaged art collective Chto Delat.

Puuluup: Cables in the Car, Still is a humorous and poetic music documentary about two middle-aged musicians who are bringing the long-forgotten Talharpa to world stages. Dry humor, absurd situations, and "neo-zombie-post-folk" music intertwine in a portrait where the glory of the stage clashes with everyday life and fatherhood. The film proves that late success can be the sweetest.
