About the film:
Ester moves to Alta in the autumn of 1979 and starts her first job as a substitute teacher. To fit in with her colleagues, she hides her Sami background. Ester's cousin is a Sami activist and participates in the demonstrations against the planned hydroelectric power station in the Alta river. When Ester joins him at the protest camp, her awakening and journey out of shame begins. She throws herself into a conflict-filled struggle for the preservation of the river and for the right to be herself. ELLOS EATNU - LA ELVA LEVE is a drama with deep conflicts, about a young person's courage in the fight for Sami rights in one of the most important events in Sami and Norwegian history.
