What unites us can heal, but it can also divide. In 1930s northern Sweden, Tornedalen, Rakel devotes herself to her husband Teodor, the community, and faith. Yet the young teacher feels out of place – she can speak Swedish, while the other villagers live their days in Meänkieli. As the locals grow radicalised in resistance to the dominance of Swedish, they seek truth and solace in religion. Teodor – a self-declared spiritual leader – decides to take over a religious movement, proclaiming the end of the world and creating a vacuum of power. Increasingly isolated, Rakel will see her personal convictions and duties to husband and congregation tested to the very edge…

Movie is in Meänkieli, Swedish and FInnish with subtitles in Latvian.
