A finalist on the Genero.tv website - "The Alcoholic" is a video set to the tune of a Royksopp song with the same name. Here we follow a man who finds himself a puppet to alcoholism. Intended to have the look of a comedy and the feel of a tragedy - this video juxtaposes the two with a combination of puppetry and live action. Think "Avenue Q" meets "Requiem for A Dream" From Royksopp's "Senior" Album

As an alcoholic,who has been there, been through 2 wives,lost the love of people I loved, lost jobs, and damn near killed myself through accidents and on purpose, this really hits home. Although I have not had a drink in 18 years now I still know how easy it is to lose everything. It's always good to have a reminder of " The good old days.☠️😭" Just the thought scares me. Thanks for posting.

When he realized the size of his problem, he stopped being a puppet

I had no idea a puppet can have such powerful expression. Respect for the artist who made the puppet alive.

i love the look on the actors face at the end, when he's finally human. that humiliated, broken feeling, but a free, vulnerable, open feeling of surrender. #fuckyeah #recovery

This reminds me of my goodbye letter I wrote to alcohol when I put myself in rehab. I’m Apache and titled my poem Trail of Beers detailing my life and struggle with booze and now I’m coming up on 8 yrs sober and haven’t looked back. So to those who are struggling, in recovery or even thinking about giving alcohol up I SUPPORT YOU!!!

This song will always remind me of a low point of my life: depression. About a year ago I was very close to suicide but something about this video and music moved me to give life another shot.

This 4 minute 29 seconds video is better than all the combined public service announcements on alcoholism ever created. Wow.... this should be shown to all adolescents in schools.... a powerful message coupled with sublime music.

I’m a recovering alcoholic and this happened to come up on my suggested videos today. I love this- brutal, sad, and honest. I saw the puppet as myself when I was actively drinking. I felt emotionally connected throughout the entire clip.
I do believe that this didn’t come across my feed by chance. Excellent video.

The goal was to deliver a brutal message with an innocent messenger (puppet). Thanks for the view!

I don't know how I got here but I'm glad I am here. Needed to see that. Still sober too.

I didn't realise how powerful this video was until my mum died 2 years ago. I started heavy drinking everyday but the memory of this video and the tune of this song niggled. I wised up last year. Not off drink but no longer a muppet. Thank you Ryoksopp ❤

This song makes me think of my ex, who had a drinking problem. He tried to quit on several occasions. Never could. He landed in jail a few times, lost jobs, lost friends and eventually his marriage and maybe even why he took his own life. R.I.P., Joe, I hope you are at peace now.
