Sameproblemet

Marie, a new mother living in France, is the only one in her family who feels nothing the night her áhkku dies. She travels home to Finnmark for the funeral and decides to write her grandmother's story, which becomes the story of four generations of women marked by oppression, of her Sámi background, and a reckoning with the Norwegian state, church and school.
