TOMMY VERCETTI - Briefe an die Mutter

The musicvideo was made out of a dissertation at the university of arts Berne (course of studies visual communication). The piece of music is a fi rst single from the Berner rapper Tommy Vercetti - out of his soon coming album «Controverse EP». The words are about a young US soldier in the Vietnam war who falls in love with a Vietcong girl and tries to run away with her despite threatening maximum penalty. Even though the constellation (raps in Swiss German to the sample of a Cuban song from Silvio Rodriguez) looks maybe a bit odd, but a post-modern authenticity is thoroughly given. A real lived love story from the Berner rapper during a stay in the cultural contrasting Cuba fi nds its pendant in Vietnam in the late sixties, where two worlds without the same denominator hit together. The clip shifts in regard to the content to an other level because the fi ght about the love plays only in the head of the protagonist and finishes in his own throes of death.
