Sophia-Olsson “Brace Your Heart” director Amanda Kernell is ready to talk about forgiveness.
“What can be forgiven? And what if you live in a place where everything has to be, because it can be a matter of survival?,” she wonders.
In Kernell’s new film — unspooling at TIFF and the San Sebastián Film Festival — young Ejva (Elli Sara Valkeapää) is forced to tend to her late father’s reindeer herd. Her family depends on her, but she’s struggling. She accepts help from Heaika (Andte Gaup-Juuso) while falling for his cousin. But it comes at a price.
