Production

Director Elle Márjá Eira is Sámi herself and grew up in Kautokeino Municipality.[1][2] Actress Elin Kristina Oskal is also Sámi, having grown up in Saltdal Municipality in Nordland county. During her school years, Oskal was the only Sámi student in her class.[3] Eira stated that it was important to cast Sámi actors, as they would be familiar with reindeer herding as well as the struggles the Sámi community faces.[4]

Filming took place in Sápmi—specifically Vittangi and Övre Soppero in Norrbotten County, Sweden—in early 2023.[5][6][7]

Release

Ahead of the premiere, Netflix released promotional images on 15 February 2024.[8] Two teaser trailers were released on 19 March 2024 and 5 April 2024, respectively.[9]
