This film is like a top-quality Scandinavian crime story – yet all these things really happened. Despite reports about acts of paedophilia in the Norwegian town of Tysfjord, the matter was being swept under the rug for many years. A thorough journalistic investigation was required to reveal the enormous scale of the crime. Breath-taking landscapes of the Far North have become the setting for the harm done to many children from different generations, the local conspiracy of silence and systemic racism against the Saami, concealed for many years.
