Энэ киноны тухай

1930s Sweden. 14-year-old Sami girl Elle Marja (“Powerful newcomer Lene Cecilia Sparrok.” - The New York Times) and her sister are torn from their indigenous reindeer-herding family and placed in a government-run boarding school. There Elle dreams of education, of a future, only to be faced with racial examinations that class her people as inferior. What follows is a girl’s attempt to escape one world of prejudice and another of old traditions, only to realize later the true cost of freedom.

This is a beautiful and striking film that opens up an experience of which most people (I would guess) are unaware. But beyond the themes of isolation and racism, it's the story of family, history, and what it means to come from a place.
