Je’vida is the first Skolt Sámi film in history.

The film tells the story of a woman who abandoned her background under the pressure of forced Finnishization, and her story is told in three time periods. An elderly Skolt Sámi woman, Iida, is torn after selling her old homestead and concealing her cultural heritage, as the repressed, natural world begins to creep back.
