‘Sang Sami (Sami Blood) - Amanda Kernell’

An old lady accompanies her son on a visit to her region of origin, in northern Sweden, for her sister’s funeral. She has no desire to renew contact with her family or her community, whom she left behind when she was very young. Upon arrival, memories come flooding back to her: in her early adolescence, she suffered humiliation at the hands of conformist Swedes, she tried to gain acceptance as their equal and she eventually changed her identity in order to escape from too constricted a destiny. After all these years, the way she rejected her origins seems to her to have been self-deception.
