SYNOPSIS:
Northern
Norway, 1852: For centuries the windswept mountain plateau of northern
Scandinavia has been inhabited by the native Sami population and their
reindeers. But modernization is about to enter the desolate village of
Kautokeino where the authority is held by the prosperous and ruthless liquor
dealer Ruth (Mikael Persbrandt). One of the native tribes, led by the young
woman Elen (Anni-Kristiina Juuso), refuses to pay their unjust debt to Ruth.
Without a trial, Ruth manages to imprison most of Elens tribe, leaving Elen
alone to take care of the reindeers. Elen gets help to set up a trial in which
the men are released, but Ruth claims ownership of the tribes’ reindeers to
cover the cost of the trial. Losing the basis of their lives, Elen and her
tribe have little choice but to oppose to Ruth’s claim, leading to one of the
most dramatic episodes in northern Scandinavian history.
