The Tundra Within Me

Overview

After living in Oslo for many years, Lena moves back to Sápmi in northern Norway with her young son, to explore Sami gender in an art project. While researching in the wintry tundra, she falls in love with reindeer herder Máhtte, whose mother, the head of the family, disapproves of the relationship. As decisions from the past come to haunt her, Lena struggles to find out whether her and Máhtte’s lifestyles can ever be compatible.
