Kimmo Pohjonen, Finland's most daring accordionist, struggles to find the melody of his own voice. Forget everything you think you know about the accordion. Shattering boundaries, tampering with bellows, utilizing electronic devices and samples of strings, animal sounds and earth machines, Kimmo Pohjonen pushes sound, performance and composition to their extremes. Soundbreaker is a film about breaking rules and fighting against expectations. Director Kimmo Koskela tells the story with sparse words and breathtaking images giving a deep understanding of the inner struggle of this exceptional artist and conveying the spirit and feelings of a Northern country.
