Description
A visual artist returns to her native Northern Norway where she finds love with a reindeer herder but is haunted by the decisions from her past.
After living in Oslo for many years, Lena (Risten Anine Gaup) moves back to Sapmi in Northern Norway with her young son to explore the women of her native Sami culture in an art project. While researching in the wintry tundra, she falls in love with reindeer herder Mahtte (Nils Ailu Kemi), whose mother disapproves of their relationship. As decisions from the past come to haunt her, Lena struggles to find out whether their divergent lifestyles can ever be compatible. An exploration of love, heritage and the resilience of the human spirit, Sara Margrethe Oskal's tender directorial debut The Tundra Within Me 'opens a window onto a culture that deserves recognition' (The Film Stage).
