    Ella Marie puts on her coat in the tent and points to her belt with the fish symbol: Let's go. Flashback: Her home is with the Sámi people in Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province. In Oslo, Ella has made a new life for herself, singing with the band ISÁK, who consider themselves part of the electrojoik (that's a thing?). A mining company wants to mine minerals in Finnmark, which brings Ella and a group from environmental protection to protest. They fear long-term consequences for the ecosystem on the land of the Sámi, some of whom still traditionally keep reindeer there. The group camps in the north and chains themselves to excavators to prevent the mining. Ella Marie performs a song - Rahčan, which means "storm".
