A young woman struggles to defend her Sámi heritage in a world where xenophobia is on the rise, climate change is threatening reindeer herding, and young people choose suicide in the face of collective desperation.
The snow is mysteriously missing from ski resort Gavmofjäll, leading 14-year old sámi girl Ristin and her little sister Aila on a quest deep into the ancient secrets of the mountain to save their family from catastrophe.
The year was 1916, we follow Sire’s everyday life, until her final moments. We are a part of her little world and get to see how big that little world can be. How rich it’s in emotions, sounds and memories. Sire reminds us of life, not death. She was my Máttaráhkku, great-grandmother, and my grandfather was 10.
