Finding your real father might not be a fairy tale come true.

Elvira, a confident Sámi teenager, firmly believes that her mother conceived her at a Danish fertility clinic. She often daydreams about her father, envisioning him as a charismatic movie star. However, her world is turned upside down when her real biological father unexpectedly steps into her life. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Norway’s northernmost region, this family film features quirky dialogue, a captivating female protagonist, and an unforgettable supporting role by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
