Synopsis

During summer 1979, Ester moves to Alta in Northern Norway to begin teaching in an elementary school. Like many Indigenous Sámi at the time, she is ashamed of her heritage and conceals her ethnicity by going to great lengths to fit in. When her cousin Mikkhal takes her to a camp by the Alta River where people are demonstrating against the building of a dam, Ester learns how the fight for the river is also a revolt against years of discrimination against her people. She finds her voice and takes a stand inspiring countless others.
