During summer 1979, Ester moves to Alta in Northern Norway to begin teaching at an elementary school. Like many Sámi at the time, she is ashamed of her heritage and conceals her ethnicity. Ester goes to great lengths to fit in, even joining in with the derogatory jokes. When her cousin Mikkhal takes her to a camp by the Alta River, where people are demonstrating against the building of a dam, Ester learns how the fight for the river is also a revolt against the years of brutal racism and discrimination against her people. After a major confrontation with the police, Mikkhal and some other Sámi decide to go to Oslo to hunger strike in front of the Parliament. Knowing what is at stake, Ester realises it is time to make a stand…

[Filmin] A foray into Norwegian shame over the treatment of the Sami, the native indigenous of the Nordic countries who suffered racism and annihilation. As the Norwegians are more educated, they did so slowly, imposing the capitalist culture and lifestyle while the Sami have been displaced from their own lands. "I don't want to be Sami" is a declaration by the protagonist that is heartbreaking, although the story told in this film vindicates the need to tell one's own stories and is reflected in the first Sami stories in cinema, especially "Pathfinder" (Nils Gaup, 1987).
