What happens when Åsta Jensen, a Sami who is analphabet, tries to teach another Sami, Jon Rønningen, who knows nothing about the Sami language? In the film, we embark on a journey to uncover the key to the Sami language. During the journey, we also come across the consequences of Norway’s strict assimilation policies.
