DeVotchKa: Empty Vessels

Ruffian director Martin Krejci creates a haunting and emotional film for DeVotchKa's latest single Empty Vessels. The story is based on true events; in Eastern Europe many beautiful, ancient villages were buried by reservoirs and mining waste in the name of progress. Entire generations were forced to relocate and their personal history erased. Krejci's own father was one of the many displaced and in this video the hero also grew up in one of these villages and takes matters in his own hand, swimming through the depths of time and space to reunite with his childhood sweetheart.
