SYNOPSIS

Three Sami men travel to the capital of Norway. One of them is wearing a gákti, the traditional Sami clothing, to attract women. The second one believes it unethical to do this, and the third one is bitter because he doesn’t attract women when he wears the gákti.

The film is an identity satire, about how to be Sami in the right way, and caused a lot of debate in the Sami community after its release.

Producer and contact for screening: Mathis Ståle Mathisen, Rein Film
