Where do reindeer live? Find out in this picturesque film about 10 year-old Niilas, a shy skateboarder who lives in the city with his father in Belgium. He barely knows his Swedish mother, but one summer he reluctantly agrees to visit her in Lapland, where she and her new family live amongst the Sami, an indigenous reindeer-herding people. The reindeer migration is fully underway and he has to lend a helping hand, but when a reindeer goes missing, Niilas joins in the search with an impressive moose crossing his path at the most unexpected moments. Gradually he discovers his roots, which prove to be stronger than he ever could have ever imagined. Age 8-12 ($10)
