In a remote Sámi village high in the mountains, 20-year-old Ejva inherits her late father’s reindeer herd. As she struggles to keep the herd thriving, local leader Heaika develops romantic feelings for her, and though hesitant, she feels compelled to accept. But everything changes when Nejla, Heaika’s cousin, arrives, and Ejva discovers true love for the first time. Betrayed and jealous, Heaika reacts harshly, leaving Ejva with a condition that makes her hands shake uncontrollably, threatening her ability to care for the herd. Now, Ejva must find a way to reclaim control over her life and her future.
Amanda Kernell (“Sami Blood”) has a remarkable gift for creating fully realised characters from the smallest of gestures and imbuing landscapes with emotional power.
Without losing sight of its deeply moving story, “Brace Your Heart” becomes a richly observed portrait of what Sámi women are sometimes asked to endure to hold onto what is rightfully theirs.
The film premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
