CGiii Comment
Suvi and Kaisa are indigenous Sámi sisters from Northern Finland. In their village of Utsjoki, religious prejudices and conservative values haunt gay peoples' lives on a daily basis. Suvi feels powerless and unable to help her sister against prejudice, something that is especially important now, as Kaisa has decided to have a baby. A personal film about sisterhood, homosexuality and the search for acceptance.
There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
