In this brutal land, a stranger threatens their survival.
In the arctic, as Saiva is being born, a shaman declares that she is evil and will bring harm to all who become involved with her. Saiva is cast out of her tribe of herders and grows up to live a nomadic existence with Anja, a young woman she adopts as an infant. Then Loki, an injured and starving soldier, stumbles into their isolated lives. The women nurse him back to health, but treachery, violence and doom await them all.

Average viewer score of 6.0/10 from 56 ratings.
Interesting and psychological dark movie in spite of the glacial surrounding. The isolation feeling is well executed and the cast works quite well. However, you cannot help feeling that something is missing and could have been done better at the end of the story.
