Recently a Ukrainian rock band VITER has filmed a music video for the song “Marichka” from the “Springtime” album. In order to make it, the band has recreated the atmosphere of the 50-ties – gangster-style plot, slightly grotesque screenplay and a really unexpected ending. Apart from musicians themselves parts in the clip were played by the one of the Lvivs socialites, a participant of a popular Ukrainian reality show ”DOM 2” – Lilya Kish, some toy dogs and even a chicken that has laid an egg in the middle of the shooting process. In their clip the band has presented their own ”know-how” – three meter long hand-made pipes made out of the poisonous plant – heracleum, which resemble a traditional Ukrainian instrument trembita. The video was directed by Olexander Kulyk, known by his works for various Ukrainian rock and pop bands (Noralasso, Rock-H, GreenSilence, Lilya Kish)
