Olga - til mine venner (2013)

Dignity comes and goes, but friends never return, once lost.

Olga is a young Sami girl at the Kola Peninsula in Northwest-Russia. Everyone believes she is mentally retarded because she has grown up in an orphanage. Turning 18, she is being sent home and rejected by her own people. But Olga is a talented teenager and a gifted storyteller. The film takes us along Olga’s road in her claim for dignity and cultural identity.
