It is summer at the Flathead Reservation in Montana. Eight<br />
year old Sage spends the sunny days playing with friends,<br />
swimming and fishing in the river. But one day his parents<br />
surprise him with some breaking news: They are moving to<br />
Northern Norway! Sage starts to go to school in Tromsø, but<br />
he is different from his schoolmates. Very different. He is<br />
the only boy with long hair and braids, and he doesn’t speak<br />
one word of Norwegian. But most important to the others –<br />
he’s a real Indian!<br />

In the north there are people with special abilities. They are<br />
called helpers. According to the Sámi tradition, they have<br />
existed for centuries. They have healed, relieved pain, stopped<br />
bleeding and helped people in many ways – with love, in<br />
secret, without being payed. The good helpers are still here,<br />
in our modern world, they are hidden – but not gone. What<br />
kind of knowledge do they possess – is it a gift, or could<br />
anyone learn how to heal? The audience gets invited into the<br />
most secret spaces of Sámi culture, and we try to learn – on<br />
film – how bleeding is stopped.<br />
