Logline
A middle-aged “boyband” on a wildly unexpected rise from small clubs to world stages — armed with traditional bowed lyres and dry humour.
Famous quotes from the film
“Bob Dylan is a completely pointless artist.”
“If you’re over 40 and a popular artist, you can’t take yourself too seriously.”
Synopsis
Puuluup: Cables in the Car, Still is a humorous and visually rich music documentary about two middle-aged musicians who bring the forgotten Estonian bowed lyre back onto world stages. Dry humor, absurd twists and their self-described “neo-zombie-post-folk-sensation” merge in a portrait where spotlights collide with everyday life, fatherhood and the search for balance. It is a story of a late breakthrough, proving that it is never too late to dream — or to start conquering the world.
