Description
In the 1910s, Ristin and Ber-Jona try to care for their infant twins while migrating their reindeer herd to their summer pasture. As a border is imposed between northernmost Sweden and Norway, the family faces tragedy when it is forced to migrate south. In the 1970s, Lise – part of a new generation of Sami grappling with questions of identity and inheritance – reflects on her traumatic childhood, when she was placed in a ‘nomad school’ to be stripped of her ancestors’ language. Moving into the 2010s, Lise’s daughter Sandra seeks to reclaim her heritage, becoming an activist fighting for reparations in a highly publicized land rights trial.
