A moving, coming-of-age film set against the social prejudices of 1930s Sweden. This handsome debut feature from Swedish-Sami writer-director Amanda Kernell blends adolescent fears that resonate across borders and generations with a little-known cultural context: Sweden’s colonial oppression of the indigenous Sami people. Following a single, strong-willed teenage girl who is forced to choose between staying with her people or pursuing the education and opportunities denied her. This stirring but pleasingly unsentimental tale was a festival crowd pleaser when it was released in 2016 and introduced a new young talent in the lead actor, Lene Cecilia Sparrok.
