The Tundra Within Me (12A)

Oskai’s film shows narrative and characters richly steeped in Sami cultural and tradition. Artist Lena returns to her remote Sami homeland in order to work on a project about women herders after she herself rejected this role and headed for the city.

The stark and beautiful landscape shows the life of the herders including the women and Lena is torn between renewing this life for herself and her son whilst falling in love.

The director Oskai is also a herder and this enables her to understand the love and pain that goes into this way of life. A beautiful and enriching film.
