In the 1950s near the Arctic Circle, seven-year-olds Jon-Ante, Else-Maj, Nilsa, Marge, and Anne-Risten are taken from their families. As children of S\u00e1mi reindeer herders, the Swedish state has mandated they attend a \u0093nomad school\u0094 where they are forbidden to speak their native language. As the children visit home only sporadically, their parents know little about the abuse they face, much of it at the hands of the housemother, Rita. Those who dare to speak up are silenced.\r\n\r\nThirty years later, the five children have chosen different paths to cope with the past. Else-Maj holds strong in her S\u00e1mi identity but has turned to religion for comfort, while Anne-Risten now goes by Anne to hide her heritage from friends. Nilsa herds reindeer like his father but harbors a lot of anger, and Jon-Ante struggles with traumatic memories from the school. Then there\u0092s Marge, who is about to adopt a daughter from Colombia, but can\u0092t help questioning if it\u0092s right to take a child from her homeland.\r\n\r\nSuddenly, housemother Rita reappears. Now an old, frail woman claiming to have God on her side, she acts like nothing ever happened. But the five former students have neither forgotten nor forgiven her.
